Night Hawks
They scissor edges of twilight, cuttingblack shapes into sky. The wet silverof quick wings open against eternity,as if to erase an end with a beginning.

Here’s What’s Happening in Tucson This Weekend!
Happy Friday everyone! I haven't seen a really strong monsoon yet but at least there's been a bit of rain and a few cloudy days. Maybe if we all wash and wax our cars this weekend we'll get some precipitation. Whatever your plans this weekend, enjoy a slight break in the temperatures.
If you're on the east side of town this weekend stop by our Open House at 7521 East La Cienega Drive to say hi and to cool off. As always, please let us know if we can be of help to you or someone you know.
Warm Regards...Ann, Ron, and Corilynn
SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA BIRDING FESTIVAL
Weekends are for the birds! The Southeast Arizona Birding Festival is here. And just in time as the weather seems to be a bit cooler. See the schedule and pick your favorite bird topics!
ITS NATIONAL FARMERS MARKET WEEK!
Who knew? I thought every weekend was good enough but apparently, we need a national week. All the better as you can never have enough locally grown, fresh produce.
OPEN THE POD BAY DOORS, HAL!
See real astronauts and one movie astronaut at Starr Pass during Space Week. Gary Lockhard (who played astronaut Frank Poole) will be right there with you as you rewatch the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey!
MERMAIDS RETURN TO FOURTH AVE
Second Saturdays Downtown tomorrow. Music, street performances, food, traffic, hot weather, the works! And of course, Mermaids.
SECOND SUNDAZE AT MUSEUM OF ART
Free for Tucson residents! The current exhibition features art from the 18th and 19th century travels to Europe, the Middle East, and America.
ARIZONA CARDINALS
Sure its pre-season and doesn't really count, but the Cardinals are off to a good start with a win. Tonight its the Pittsburgh Steelers' turn to show what they've got up their sleeves for this year. Go Steelers, and can someone please pass the nachos!

Started going through my Southeast Arizona Birding Festival photos this past weekend. I'll be posting all my keepers up on Flickr. The first batch I've uploaded is from before the festival even began!
This photo in particular is from our first visit to the Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary. Filled with feeders, dozens of hummingbirds come by to drink up and they don't mind posing for pictures!
