Moonflower - May 2023 I was surprised to see a large clump of Moonflower growing just below the bike path in Oro Valley, AZ. I had this growing in front of my porch in Oelwein, Iowa, so I immediately recognized it and decided to stop to capture a couple of images. Image two shows why this is also called Devil’s Trumpet. The flowers are very trumpet-shaped. Image three shows the bush growing among wild plants. The official name for Moonflower is Datura and it is in the nightshade family. All nightshade is poisonous. Eating any part of this plant– or making tea with the leaves– will lead to hallucinations… and death. These Oro Valley bike paths are great with only one problem. When you leave Catalina State Park, any path you take quickly goes downhill, so your return trip is uphill. I did 16 miles on the day I took these pictures, which means 8 continuous miles uphill to get back to camp. MWM

December in the Sonoran Desert. This is a photo of the Santa Catalina Mts. taken from my front yard in Tucson just as the sun was disappearing in the west. Well-known writer Barbara Kingsolver lived in Tucson for about 20 years. She described this light on the Catalinas as "hot and sweet."

Great Horned Owl - May 2023 This Great Horned Owl is nesting in a tree near the trailheads at Catalina State Park. I was riding through the parking lot one morning when I noticed several people with “bird lenses” and tripods pointed up into one of the trees. I asked what they were taking pictures of and they pointed up and said, “the owl.” I really had trouble picking out the owl among the branches. I was expecting one of the smaller owls, but this one was very large. With its eyes closed, it looks very much like a broken off portion of the trunk. I captured several images with my small camera with the intention of coming back in the afternoon with my long lens. The chicks were awake and up in the afternoon and momma had joined them in the nest. The second image is one of the chicks staring down at me with its sibling peeking through the top of the nest. In the third image, momma owl is looking over the chick’s shoulders making sure that I am not a threat. The fourth image is a closeup of the face of the shy chick that was peering up over the edge of the nest. MWM
