Lucy in the Sky

Pinnacle Peak
a prominent N. Scottsdale AZ landmark..
a wonderful place to view sunsets!
Large granite boulders make up the mountain..
highest point 2889 feet.
I look forward to hiking the 3 1/2 mile round trip hiking trail next week
because the desert wildflowers are beginning to bloom!
This evening I'm enjoying live music under the stars western style
at a rustic outdoor bar called Greasewood Flats with picnic tables,
a warm toasty campfire and
a perfect view of this magic hour at sun set!
In my previous post related to Sedona I did not feel that
you could see
"Lucy" looking down at "Snoopy" so
I have highlighted both characters above with
this arrow <--
Lucy in the sky!
~
bluest skies during daylight and amazing sunsets
here in the Sonoran Desert area!
Life is good!
Skywatchers welcome!

In this cold, seeing your warm photos has given me hope. Spring and Summer will get here. (it snowed today and it doesn't do that often where i live)
