Just your ordinary backyard view on a Tucson summer evening: Mike in Tucson

The Mexican White Winged Doves sitting atop the Saguaro are taking in the beauty of a an ordinary summer evening. Ordinary, that is, for Tucson, Arizona. Daytime highs in excess of 100 degrees get the press around the country. What they don't tell you in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Sacramento or Chicago is that the humidity tops out at 45 percent, and the evenings are comfortable and bug-free.

No mosquitoes, no black flies, no horseflies. The only screened-in porches in Tucson were built by snowbirds who had no idea that screens aren't a necessary part of outdoor living here in the Old Pueblo.

I took this photo in the community of Shadow Hills while visiting a friend last night. The view, though, was pretty much the same all over the Tucson valley.

Sunset In Tucson: Giant Saguaros and Palm Trees

Twilight in Tucson, Arizona

We've had some beautiful sunsets this week in Tucson.

Palm trees aren't native to the Arizona Sonoran Desert, but they thrive here if they have access to water. I like the juxtaposition of the Palm Trees in the foreground with the Saguaro Cacti against the backdrop of the Tucson Mountain Range.

If you haven't planned a visit, right now might be the time to do that!
