Christmas Day in Tucson

[corkyg]

No snow - no precip - no clouds. Crystal clear but a fierce, cold, North wind blowing. I took a brief walk and carried the camera along. lots of holiday decorations and stuff - but this caught my eye on my way home.

Flags

You can tell the wind is blowing - but the main point is the lower flag - flying proudly on Christmas Day and indicating a son is absent and serving in either Iraq or Afghanistan. I said a brief prayer for him as I snapped the picture.

and 29 degrees this morning - this is not my beautiful desert!

You are right about that. But things are looking up - this is more like it . . .
