Shiny Stinger "B" (Staying Put and An Appointment in Scottsdale--Catch up Post)

Saturday, March 23, 2019


We had planned on going over to Tombstone for lunch today but then realizing it was Saturday decided maybe not today and decided Monday would be a better choice. Before I could say, so what do you want to do today, Tom said he was going over to the office to get a permit to wash the Stinger "B" which is exactly what he did. I ended up running into Sierra Vista to pick up a few things and by the time I got back he had the glass cleaner out and was working on the windows.

Tom grilled hamburgers for dinner and just as he was bringing them in I realized I did not even go out and take a picture of the sunset. I actually did not take one picture today. Below is a picture of last nights sunset which I forgot to add to the 100 plus photos in last nights post.

Not a bad day. The Stinger "B" is clean. I took care of some errands and three batches of laundry are done.

Monday, March 18, 2019

So this was a stay put and go no where type of day. The pictures are of the sunset or I should say what was left of it when I decided to grab the camera and go out the door. It truly was a day of not moving.

The sun had dropped out of sight

but there was a little bit of color in the clouds in the southwest.

Always enjoy the way the mountains in the east light up when the sun has
dipped behind the mountains in the west.

 

Things got a little brighter in the southwest

and there was a faint bit of pink in the eastern sky.

The sun was gone but left a little bit of color behind.

Trying to get a picture of the little bit of pink in the clouds I did manage to
get the moon peaking out from under one of the clouds.
The moon is right in the center of this picture.

So ended the daylight on a very quiet day in our neighborhood.

I had an early follow up appointment with the eye doctor in Scottsdale this morning, a couple of issues he wanted to be sure had cleared up, so we were on our way before the sun was up.

Sunlight is faintly showing behind the mountains.

and the mountains in the west have caught its light.
The flash made everything greener and brighter.)

On I-10 heading east it is getting brighter.

The sun's light slowly lights up the landscape.

It has popped up. Excuse the dirty windshield.

 

Even though we are moving right along

I can see the light making its way across the desert floor.

Appointment done we are now making our way back west on I-10.

We stopped in Avondale for lunch and some quick shopping then we were on our way again.

It is nice how several cities in Arizona honor those in the service.
I only caught these two pictures.

A blur of orange wildflowers.

With clouds come lots of 

shadows in the mountains and on the desert floor.

 

There are a lot of semis driving across our country.
This afternoon I decided to take some pictures of a few.
Notice the middle right one, I have never seen an Amazon one before.

I would say these drivers move a lot of "stuff" we all enjoy using .

The light is constantly changing

   

as clouds float by

 

causing light and dark areas to appear.

 

We were back in time to watch 

   

the sun

slowly set

  

behind the

mountains.

We had some nice color around us after the sunset.

The moon rising with some color
still with us from the sun.

Super Vivid

Our home in the blue twilight.

It was a long day but it ended with a beautiful sunset to enjoy before we settled in for the night.

We are glad you stopped by for a visit and hope you enjoyed the pictures.

If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.

Wonderful, Relaxing Days Parked at LaPosa South

(Clicking on the pictures will open them larger in a new window.)

We are spending some wonderful days parked out in the desert at LaPosa South LTVA. There are more and more rigs pulling in everyday but in our neighborhood there are open spaces and quiet, serene, living parked by friends. We are relaxing and enjoying the days slowly slip by. Life is good.

The sun setting at the end of the day.
I do not think we would ever get tired of this time of the day watching the
sun slip behind the mountains.

January 16, 2018

Stopped by on of my favorite Quartzsite Stores  and left with a few beads.

The wooden Eagle on the roof has some real bird friends
hanging out.

We took a ride over to Dome Rock BLM just to check out the area and see if there was any place we might enjoy hanging out sometime in the future.

A wiggle worm sign.

Saw this motorhome being moved. Hope this is never us.

Still learning to adjust the camera. The clouds over the mountains, I thought were beautiful, the clouds to the north were dark but the camera would not let me take a picture. Patsy mentioned, sometimes you need to refocus, so next time I will try that.

Caught this morning's sunrise.

Patsy and Bill's friends, Brenda and Randy, are on a whirlwind trip through a small portion of the southwest and stopped in to see them for a couple of nights. They generously shared some of their time with them with the rest of us. After Happy Hour at the Suite we all headed over to Silly Al's for dinner/pizza.

From the Left: Randy, Patsy, Bill, and Brenda.

George and Suzie

This group was, I think, posing for George when I snapped it.
Patsy and Bill in the front. Ann is behind.
Brenda on the left and Len in the background.

I missed getting a picture of Paul and Ann so I copied this off of Patsy's Blog.
Thanks Patsy.

                             

The last little bit of today's light coming up behind the mountains.

We took a ride over by Scaddan Wash this evening.

Tonight's sunset.

Clouds to the south with just a touch of pink.

A Saguaro and the last of tonight's light.
Two sights we never get tired of seeing.

Some more beautifully colored pink clouds off to the Southeast.

The light color at the base of the mountains is the dust in the air
this evening as we head back into Quartzsite. Dust is part of being in
the desert but over by Scaddon Wash there is a lot of traffic on a sandy road
so the dust is pretty thick in the air.

Tonight's Happy Hour. Starting on the left: George, Tom's chair, Jim, Patsy, Bill,
Sharon, Suzie, and myself.
Jim and Sharon are longtime friends of Suzie and George's and stopped
in for a short visit.   

Tonight's sunset.

Our "neighborhood" in  tonight's afterglow.

Closing one of our shades I noticed the color had intensified and was
able to catch this picture from the doorway.

TOMORROW.

Is A Moment We Lose From Enjoying

We are enjoying our days and hope you can say the same.
