Project: One photo a day (but not necessarily every day)

This is probably inspiring to someone. Saguaro NP on The Loop.

Cool. Is he the only one around, or does he hang out with friends?

Boris hangs with the other resident Blue Tongue......................Natasha........ who else?

The pair of them come looking for food on our outdoor decking around lunch time every 3rd day or so........

Meet Natasha - prettier scale pattern but not as tame. (1.5MB video)

That's nice. (you mustn't have any house cats around, or at least none that spend much time outside)

You could install a tiny bell and either train them to use it, or like Pavlov, teach them that "ding, ding, ding" means "lunch time."

I’ve “decorated “ the tops of tower cranes at Christmas many times. My favorite was while adding on to a children's hospital. We had a “tree lighting” for the kids.

I recognize that bike mailbox in your avatar but can't quite place it... East Mountain Drive? Lower Gibraltar?

Right road, wrong direction, its on W Mtn, probably no more than .5 miles from Coyote Rd where E Mtn starts. The owner of this property and the adjoining one is an artist, lots of cool stuff on the properties. Adjoining property is book themed, a bookish mailbox and the residence a "stack" of books, known as the Book House(built 8-10yrs ago), think I've posted these before but in case you missed it:







The entire area surrounding SB is a great place to ride!

Apologize for all the pics in this "one photo a day" but might as well include full size avatar pic, bike is a 20" wheeled bmx, rider is life size +-.

I think these get up to 2’ in length so not small like skinks in North America.

Meet Abby (the Abyssinian cat).

We got Abby as a 2.5 month old kitten and raised/trained her like our previous Abyssinians - no chasing animals. Abby and Boris get on well as per photo.

After 6 months of constant, consistent daily training she got the message. Now aged 5 years she is ultra protective of 'her' birds, her blue tongue lizards etc. My partner Susan did 90% of the training as she and Abby are home always. We have 6 acres of gardens abutting a wildlife corridor and are registered with Land For Wildlife so we have a plethora of wildlife using the garden as a refuge, food source etc. Cats can be trained not to chase and catch wildlife but it requires complete one on one training from early on.

Traffic jam in our village this morning.

I call this... Winter. On the wall, you'll see a letter signed by George H. W. Bush (41). He and Barbara wished me a happy retirement about ten years ago. I can't take full credit for the shape this Regal is in, but I've maintained the patina for about eight years.

I confess I did not know they were still made, but I was walking across the parking lot looking at this trying to figure it out and then I saw those three letters …. TVR …

Have not seen a modern one in a very long time and this was quite eyecatching.

Okanagan Valley looks like quite the winter destination. We have a horse event the second weekend of March in the Tonto Verde section of "Okanagan Valley." I'm bringing bikes if it isn't too cold.

I am back in the Okanagan Valley right now. Flew home Sunday to meet with a new client and the bank on Monday. A couple of weeks of intensive report writing and I will be back in the Not Okanagan Valley. Maybe by then it will be warmer. It is warmer here right now than it is in Phoenix.

Sadly I am missing a couple of really great events while away. With Super Bowl in town this year everything else is getting shuffled around on the calendar, not for the best.
