This is a wonderful image.
I am very fond of shots with weather visible in the distance, and this is a fine example.
Nice work.

These are the Santa Ritas; just east of Green Valley AZ; south of Tuscon.

Paul - I have not been to the top of Mt Wrightson - 9400 ft; and a good 6 hrs up and back. If you come in the spring, and get down here, we can hike and shoot on some other trails.
Or I can meet you part way towards Phoenix and shoot there.
Boyce Thompson is a great area that I have not been to for a while.

Is that the McDowell Mountains? A friend reported fog so thick there today that he felt like he was hiking in Ireland.

I like this a lot but that should not come as any surprise since you know I love the area.
I may have mentioned before that I have some close friends that have been working on me to come with them to spring training. I love baseball but not to the point I'd want to see 2 to 3 games a day for 3 day in a row and then spend more time in the bars. I'd rather be here, up in the canyon. Paul
