This past summer...Arizona

[andrewg]

Took a trip to Arizona during July. Stayed at Marriott Starr Pass Resort in Tucson. I casually took some quick shots of the resort and then some pics of Nogales, Az.

Needless to say....the pools became VERY crowded and not for me.

Took a photo of the border fence. All pics taken from the American side.

A small Fourth of July parade happened to be going on as well.

Great pics.

I was in Prescott and Jerome Az two weeks ago.

Nice pictures.

Blue sky ! We have brown sky in So Cal, further north toward LA is darker brown. It was very dark brown back in the '60 and '70.

We only have blue sky right after a good rain which is rare, 2-3 days later the brown comes back.

When I went to visit my brother in Phoenix I can smell the air which is clean, not smelly like we have in So Cal.

I live in Bisbee and I love it! Moved here from Houston, and yes the difference in sky color is amazing.

Never been to Bisbee. I've looked at it on the web. I'd like to visit will someday. Some incredibly beautiful architecture to photograph.
Very attractive town.
A gentleman at my work has the last name of Bisbee. He's said that his decedents are whom the town is named after.

Central/Southern Arizona is beautiful Oct 1-May 31. I love waking up to the sun and beautiful skies every morning, I can't think of anywhere else in the country with better weather...other than San Diego, maybe Las Vegas.

I think you are right for the most part. People often think of the blistering summer heat....but forget how fantastic Arizona is the rest of the year.

The dry heat thing really is true, it's in the mid 80's tonight and I ran 5 miles around the neighborhood then hopped in the hot tub for an hour and never broke a sweat.
