Rainy Ravens and Sunny Rainbows
Rainy Ravens and Sunny Rainbows
I mentioned the other day that last weekend was pretty rainy, and chilly. Which is fine, unless you’re out in it all day selling art. Oh well, such is the life.
The morning we were getting ready to go, we could hear ravens right outside the RV. There were a couple of trees near us, and there was a pair of ravens sitting in one of them. Getting soaked. It rained pretty good on Monday morning, but they didn’t seem too bothered by it all.
I was able to open the window of the RV, and stick my camera out to get photos. This worked good, as I’m sure they would have flown off if I had opened the door.
They were definitely a couple. They were talking to each, grooming each other, and obviously enjoying each others company.
I took this image and added some textures to it, giving it a different look.
We heard about an art show in Tucson this weekend from one of the artists at last weekends show. I checked with them on Monday morning, they had a couple spots left, so we headed to Tucson. That’s one good thing about the RV life, you can make or change plans at a moments notice. Usually.
The only place we could find that had RV spots was the Gilbert Ray campground in Tucson Mountain state park. We stayed here a couple years ago, and really liked it. It’s far from everything, and way far from the show we are doing, but it’s a nice, quite campground. Tuesday afternoon was kinda rainy again, but as the sun was going down, things cleared and gave us a rainbow.
This really is a beautiful part of Arizona. So green, and the mountains are gorgeous.
Saguaro ribs. I am so fascinated with the saguaro cactus, they are just so unique. This part of the state has a ton of cactus, and I love that.
We are enjoying our in between art show time, and even though it’s cold, doing a little exploring. So more photos I’m sure.
Oh Mary, you have the best job! You can hang out with Mother Nature and document moments that will never return again. LOVE these ravens and that cactus!
I love ravens… they behavior reminds me so much of people LOL
That is so very true. Smarter than some people.
My mom finds it funny how “cold” is always relative. She remembers going to class at UofA in Tucson her freshman year wearing shorts and loving it while the “natives” were wearing down coats! Good luck at the art show. Hope the weather cooperates.
I’m a cold weather wimp, bad. Funny because I’ve lived most of my life in cold snowy places. I’m too old for the cold now. Lol
Since having subscribed I’m enjoying your photography and brief comments about the campgrounds for future travel considerations.
Thanks, I’m glad you are enjoying it here. We don’t stay in campgrounds very often, so I enjoy the nicer ones when we have to be in one.
that rainbow photo is beyond gorgeous!!!!!!!
I love the raven photos….they look like such a sweet couple! Good luck with the upcoming show, and hope it gets warmer for you! It’s not really fun standing outside when it’s chilly out. It’s one thing if you’re out walking or moving, but I can see how doing a show in the cold wouldn’t be ideal.
Lovely – you can actually see where the rainbow ends! Love those raven shots too. Very sweet.
love your raven photos, they are gorgeous creatures.
the desert photos are wonderful too.
Makes me want to go to the desert, something i rarely think of doing.
Those raven photos are fabulous. I love ravens. The texture one turned out great! And what a rainbow!!!!!
