~ This raccoon was at the cabin's backdoor after dark. It was so dark I did not see his expression until the next morning when I reviewed my shots from the night before.
~ I was surprised to see this bobcat slinking around Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson, where I was birding. It was hot and there weren't many birds out, so this was a welcome treat. Judith Sparhawk
This ornate fence and gate were actually part of an enclosure around some family gravesites in the cemetery at Paradise, Arizona. If you've never been to Paradise, it is a VERY small community, more of a grouping of homes than a town. I suspect there may be more people in this small cemetery than in Paradise!
