The cactus looked almost like some sort of abstract sculpture at first glance. Then again I'm looking bleary-eyed and without my glasses on right now.
2 years agoKeep an eye out on the loop for a big red bullet. There’s a guy the rides the loop almost daily in his red Snoek Velomobile. If you don’t blink, you might actually see him when he whizzes past.
2 years agoWhen I read emails generated from comments I try to guess which photo inspired them. I was pretty confident on this one.
2 years agoOh yeah!
2 years agoAnd at times maroon and yellow by ASU fans... :-)
Usually as revenge for U of A fans painting the A on Tempe Butte red.
I wondered if you knew about the new one way couplet. I was thinking about you specifically when I posted about it.
That will be an awful development if they shut down that part of the Loop for two years. That would sever the entire north end. We’d have to look for a different winter hideaway - maybe Palm Springs?
Over on Julian Wash, between Kino Parkway and Wilmont Road, there are a number of barrel cactus that are mutated. I wonder if they came from the same 'family' and were planted at the same time?
I took great interest in your CDO note of the added bike lane in the narrow area. Thank you for the mention.
On yesterday's recumbent ride, a local rider said that they want to widen the interstate along the Santa Cruz. Which would mean closing (!) the bike path intersections near Top Golf and the one heading up the Rillito for TWO YEARS. Obviously there is push back on this. I think they will have to build a work around.
I was lucky that I first spotted him on the other side of the road running across.
2 years agoNo wonder they are hard to see with that camouflage!
2 years agoMan. Maybe my considered caeeer change to bike mechanic isn’t as abs an idea as I thought. $250 for labor to replace a drivetrain and some cables?
2 years agoYep. Money well spent!
2 years agoI’m worried about that, alright. I think she’s even going to end up with lower gearing because they didn’t have the exact match for her chainrings in stock. I can’t keep up with her now as it is!
2 years agoYup. Almost too many at once. How am I going to draw this up if I use up all the common birds so quickly.
2 years agoHere’s where having burst mode available might have worked well. I probably could have caught the both with their eyes open or closed at the same time.

I got a shot of one of these - the first I've ever seen - Wednesday afternoon in the Fountain Hills city park. Got a wigeon, too.
