Arizonan driver. Because fuck parking rules… Freedom?

Hiking with Amanda at Pinnacle Peak Park, where we happened to run across quite a few lizards.

And so the final (hopefully) Summer of Discontent begins. Bring it on Sun, I would die before you best me!

I want the first, not the second. 70 might look nice, but that’s quickly going to shoot up to dehydrating 93.

The Wonder Of Arizona’s White Pocket

all-thats-interesting:

Tucked away in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument sits White Pocket, one of the region’s most precious features. Over the ages, natural phenomena have sucked the color out of the Navajo sandstone. The pocket’s mosaic-like form is also the abstract latticework of Mother Nature; weather has created the irregular polygons on the pocket’s surface.

I might have to try and find this while I’m still living here… So I have until the end of August.

It probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but me, but being stuck in the desert, THIS image makes me jealous.

Horizon

Lately, when I drive on the 101 north to work, I envision myself driving this road with Amanda and the pups past work, over the mountains, and to wherever it is we’re going to be living next. And I smile.

This one is stunning, and I live about 3 hours away. I’ve often stated how much I loathe aspects of Arizona, but this is DEFINITELY NOT one of them. I know that visiting the Grand Canyon will be one of the highlights of my life.

Arizona Lightning

I think lightning struck my building a few minutes ago. I find it odd that I’m going to die from a rain/thunderstorm in ARIZONA, of all places.
