Tower of Power

Tour of Power is an American R&B-based band and horn section that has been performing since 1968. The band originated in Oakland, California.
Doug's friend Emilio Castillo is the leader of the band and plays the saxophone. We went to see them last night at the Mesa Arts Center.
Marcus Scott is the lead vocalist with the bank and is known as the "Memphis Soul Man". He is so amazing. It was a fabulous show!

Spring Training

Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is a stadium complex near Scottsdale. It is the spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies.
Yesterday I went to a game and saw the Diamondbacks play the Cincinnati Reds. What a beautiful day to see a game. I also enjoyed ballpark food.....a hotdog and later, ice cream!

Snow in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills

Yesterday a blanket of snow covered northern Scottsdale and on the mountains around my house. This morning I went on my morning walk and took a picture of the McDowell Mountains. Also, after lunch, I went to the Fountain Hills Great Fair and took some more pics of the snow from around there for you to enjoy........

Fog in the Desert

In the Phoenix area we rarely see fog. To see a lot of fog, you need moisture which we usually don't have in the deserts of Arizona. But this morning, the day after a storm, we had 100% humidity. We had cool temps and clear skies so the moisture cooled and condensed and formed fog.
On my morning walk, I took a couple of pictures of this rare phenomenon for us here.
