Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The March 11, 2012 Edition
Good morning all you lovelies...since I took so many pictures in the last 10 days, I had plenty to pick from for this week's challenges, the only one I stumbled on was "crowded" don't know why, maybe I was looking for a masterpiece and it just wasn't appearing. Without further mumbling the challenges this week are:
Light - Again, many choices of "light" but after some deliberation I thought this was the perfect pick. The 3 ladies in the reflection of the light in the window are me (the short blonde/gray haired in the front), Terri on the right, and Barbara on the left. Barbara is from Tucson, Terri is from Phoenix and while I was visiting friends in Phoenix the three of us were able to meet and spend the day together in Tucson, having only met through our photography on-line. It was sooo fun to spend the day with these two wonderful ladies.
Chocolate - This one took absolutely no time at all to choose - while in Scottsdale we stopped at the world famous Sugar Bowl to gobble down one of their carousel of flavors ice-cream sundaes...they had a mother-lode menu full of any kind of ice-cream treat. Vanilla is always at the top of my list when it comes to ice-cream and chocolate is what must adorn it, hot preferably and running deliciously down the sides of the scoops, add whipped cream and a cherry on top and that is perfection. I gotta stop, I am drooling just thinking about this delight!! Cute, cute place decorated in typical ice cream parlour colors, pink, white & black.
Animal - My friend Barbara, (see photo above) has had several bob-cats enter her backyard and she has been able to photograph them. Terri and I requested that she have one available when we visited, but unfortunately she was not able to produce one while we were there....probably a good thing. So instead I have a pic of a sheep, I know pretty long stretch from bob-cat to sheep, but you gotta get what you can.
Crowded -Not wanting to get too close, I will definitely by-pass this crowd of spines on the cactus.
That's it for the week...happy to be a part of this group. Each week a new challenge...stop by Ashley's blog and see many more delights......
Until next time.....

And More....
I will run out of all of these photos to share from Arizona fairly quickly and then I will be back to waiting for spring to arrive here. Right now, outdoors is not a pretty site....barely green grass, bare trees, although the weeping willows look like they may start blooming soon and I think I saw my neighbors yard with little snow drops peeking through. Yesterday I spotted my first Robin a sure sign that Spring cannot be that far away. But for right now, I am still basking in the glow of the desert if only thru my photos. And today is my birthday, so I am happy the sun is shining and I am here to enjoy it. I have lost some friends this past year which has been a constant reminder to me how precious life is and that we must enjoy life to the fullest.
A couple of more pics of the butterflies....the one below was basking in the sun and apparently loving the warmth from the rock.
I love this zebra butterfly against the yellow and also to see his proboscis (that elongated tubular appendage that the butterfly uses to feed with) slowly unfolding.
Many, many flowers were in bloom....

Everyone is friendly in Arizona....even the little ground squirrels....
Hope you all have a wonderful day today, I am.....
