It's not that hot unless you choose a spicy hot salsa to go on the side. The grilled Bolilo roll is kinda sweet but not Hawaiian King sweet. Margarita on the side? Nothing better! 🌵🌭

Tucson forecast: 0% rain… 100% style

“Bumbershoot” is pulling up anyway—because around here, umbrellas double as sun shields.

A plump Hawk has a fine perch to survey it's realm on this fountain in a lovely Tucson garden.

A close up of a beautiful Hawk.

A large purple wind chime combines with the tinkle of water from a large fountain on which an adult Hawk perches.

#Nat and I saw this beautiful #bird on our #MorningWalk today.

A front porch in Tucson Arizona. A large blue flag has the words "HATE WILL NOT MAKE US GREAT" 2 mannequins are dressed in Western wear. A yard sign, with a group of multicultural children on it , is in front of the mannequins. It reads "This is our community. ICE is not welcome here."

We walk by this house almost every day.

I love how the occupants express their world view by how they dress the mannequins that reside on the #interior of their front porch.

I agree 💯

This Tucson right-of-way is decorated with cacti plus a little tableau featuring a metal carriage and horse. A lady in a red dress (circa 1880) is drive the open carriage which is powered by a prancing white horse.

It rodeo weekend in #Tucson! 🤠🐎

But, for this little lady and her little white #horse, it's always a parade in this #desert #garden.

A Northern Mockingbird is framed by an overcast sky, a Mexican Fan palm tree and the Totem Cacti on which it's perched. Sunday, 15 February, 2026 Tucson Arizona

This photo that I took, of a Northern Mockingbird, on my #MorningWalk with #Nat encompasses a few themes.

Sunset on January 26, 2026. A pink cloud that looks like a hot air balloon is seen over the skyline of downtown Tucson Arizona.

My favorite forecast!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the wintry-like weather we've had the past few or so. Overcast, cool, rainy! 80+ degrees is NOT normal for #Tucson in December. Folks who winter and/or visit the 🏜️ need to do their research before whining. 😁
THIS is #WhyILoveWhereILive

A mural painted on a building near downtown Tucson Arizona. A cowboy, a seniorita, a javelina, a desert tortoise and a jackrabbit are riding bicycles through the desert.

In this mural, the 🏜️ sky is painted in the girl's flowing black hair.

This is my absolute favorite of his many beautiful murals. We walk by it at least once a week! I especially love the sky displayed in the girls hair!

We are very grateful to live in a neighborhood, town, that embraces the concept of "planting" precious water.

Had to get out for a trail run with temps in the 60s and rain (and rainbows!) even though my legs are dead from yesterday. I love living near these trails. Ancestral lands of the Tohono O’odham and Pasqua Yaqui. #whyILoveWhereILive

Went to see Tucson Symphony Orchestra’s Dia de Los Muertos: A Celebration of Life, featuring Juan Montoya, Conductor, Tlen Hulcani (of Vera Cruz) and Mariachi Aztlan de Pueblo high School (a Tucson staple and #1 nationwide) and also OMG this CARPET. Fantastic. #WhyILoveWhereILive

No kings, unless you’re king of Cyclovia

A beautiful sidewalk in Dunbar Springs where they take water seriously.

Folks on the route of Tucson Cyclovia, with Tucson mountains in the background

The route passed by the Pasqua Yaqui neighborhood where we had excellent Sonoran dogs from a street vendor.

Cyclovia Tucson gives riders and walkers the opportunity to explore Tucson neighborhoods free of cars for the day. We had a nice day walking the route. #WhyILoveWhereILive #CycloviaTucson @kennyuong.bsky.social for your collection. Talked at length with the transit folks.

We had a nice rain today. Got waterfront property for a bit. Our wee wash where coyote, quail, rabbits, snakes, lizards, squirrels and mice live and play became a creek.

So, we walked west to the historic neighborhood called Dunbar Spring. It was a relatively cool morning and there is always so much to see in this barrio. As we headed home, we came upon a group of plain air artists. Here is a link about them.

A collage of a few of the murals seen in downtown #Tucson and along 4th Avenue. There are hundreds, if not thousands, painted on the buildings, fences and walls of the "Old Pueblo". Just one of the reasons #WhyILoveWhereILive
