Big Cloud Over Us

It was a literal, not a metaphorical cloud. Our spirits were high, and we had a lovely evening with neighbors.

Downtown Sculpture in Safford, Arizona -- Snow Higher Up

On a recent trip up to Safford in Graham County, this sculpture caught our attention, and we circled back so I could photograph it. I imagine the boy and girl as brother and sister, and I love the way they have been captured sharing a book and reading together. The sculpture is charming from any angle, as you can see. 

The artist is Max Turner — and you could have the same sculpture in your downtown or garden!

Across the street is the stately Graham County Court House.

Shifting slightly and zooming, then, I can show you Mount Graham with fresh snow at its north slope peak on Tuesday, March 27. 

From south on Hwy. 191, here is a different view of Mt. Graham. Its elevation in the Pinaleño Mountains is in excess of 10,000 feet above sea level. 

Oh, These Young Ones!

They saunter into the yard,

they hang around a while,

and the move on.

Bye-bye until your next visit, cows!
