Star Trek Into Darkness
Since this past Tuesday was the wife's birthday, I decided to treat her to a "Chick Flick" (there are at least 2 or 3 chicks in it) and take to the opening night!
She is actually thrilled about it!

One Day Cactus Bloom
When I looked out the window Wednesday morning, this bloom was on our cactus. We had never seen it bloom in the 7 years since we bought the house. Thursday morning it was shriveled and gone.

It seems that Google + has decided to make uploading to an album an absolute horror for those of us who like to upload to specific albums.
I never thought I'd see the day when it was easier to upload to Facebook than here, but they've managed to pull it off!

Sparrow
I know it's probably been forever since any of you has seen one of these birds (if you haven't been outside in several months), but here's one of my local sparrows, for those of you who are missing them! He was kind enough to briefly pose for me.

But, He called me a Chicken Hawk!
Red-tailed Hawk chicks, 2-3 weeks old, having a rather animated discussion! The chick on the right seems to have hatched a few days prior to the other two as he's about 25% larger than his siblings. He is also a bit bolder and more inquisitive than his siblings.
They all do seem to get along fairly well, but the larger one seems to like to be at the front of the nest, where he can better see what's going on around them, while the other two tend to stick together towards the rear of the nest.

Powerline Raven
This guy decided it would be a good idea to land on the power lines, behind my house and chew on one while being perched on another! Still not sure how he kept from being barbecued, but he nibbled for a good ten minutes then flew away!

A Breezy Day
Normally a breezy day consists of the wind blowing my American flag around on the pole in my front yard, but today it's also blowing my Arizona flag around. The only thing, my Arizona flag is tacked to the wall in my garage! Definitely a windy day!

The Raven
On this windy, sunny day,
A raven, boldly flew my way.
With not a sound I could define,
He chewed upon my powerline.
He nibbled here and nibbled there,
As though he didn't have a care.
But soon enough he flew away,
To perhaps return another day!

Can You Hear Me Now?
I got this in the mail today (I guess for my pending Birthday tomorrow) personally addressed to me, with no clue on the outside of the envelope what it was. I decided to call them. When the gal answered I said "Eh? What did you say? I can't hear you!"
When she finally quit laughing, I asked her if they could just send the junk mail addressed to resident, so I could throw it in the trash without the bother of opening it first!
I think she got the idea!

Looks like someone had fun on my favorite stretch of Arizona highway last night. Can't imagine how no one was killed! That's a long way down!
I like the road, but the wife really hates it! Can't understand why!

Red-tailed Hawk Chicks
This morning I decided to swing by my local nesting Red-tailed Hawk, as it had been a week or two and I figured she should have hatched a couple of chicks by now. Not only had she hatched her chicks, but also had a bonus chick for a total of three! Hadn't ever seen more than two at a time before!

Arizona 4x4's
Saw these beasts on our morning walk this past week and thought just how small the Jeep looked beside these monsters. I guess it might be easier to climb up on the roof of the house and jump into the truck than to get into it from the ground. It has to be fun using the ATM at your local bank or the drive through at McDonald's!

While photographing at The Gilbert Riparian Preserve with +Greg Murray I happened to shoot a few of this handsome fellow. Apparently he took this as some kind of mating advance, since he swam around the pond following me from place to place and honking at me for some time after!
