| The Japanese God of storms brings some of the most exciting weather this time of year. But one must respect this God or face possible death. |
On a strict budget until my work begins again, I am keeping it close to home. You've been witnessing shots straight out of Tucson that either cost nada or just the price of gas. I'll admit that this challenge hasn't been the easiest. I want to keep my writing and photography fresh. The weather has been an obstacle plus the canyons with all the wonderful hummingbirds have issues with rain and flooding. They close off and on making it difficult to just get in a car and explore.

The exciting part though for me has been watching the action happen right here in Tucson. I keep my eye out for Rare Bird alerts or animal sightings. Monsoon certainly has been a thrill so far and it's nice. I just don't get to do those incredible hikes like I did in winter. Essentially it's two hours of play and then back inside.

It's nice at times because you won't find too many people on the trails this time of year except after a rain event or early in the morning.

So I bring plenty of water and a large hat to help keep my face protected from the sun.

And usually find some amazing things like a Yellow Warbler taking a bath in the stream. More tomorrow....
