The Nature of Bisbee


Lovely Southeast Arizona Sunset From The Divide


Javelina Crossing

Last evening at dusk I took a walk up West Blvd. to the top of the Divide with my friend Marnie. I hadn't walked that route before (but, plan to again!). On the way up, we had to stop for a crossing of at least 20 Javelinas that crossed from one side of the canyon to the other side for the night. You really need to give those oversized rodents a wide berth. So, we watched for about 10 minutes as each last baby and adult made their way across. It was a sight (and smell) to behold.

I wish my camera had behaved...I took several shots that turned out blurry. So, this one must suffice. But, you get the idea....

My Daughter Visits Bisbee!!!

Image
Good morning Bisbee! It looks like it's going to be yet another beautiful day here in Tiny Town (I didn't coin the term...I have our friend Juliette Beaumont, the bartender at Elmo's to thank).  I've got the wonderful "hurry up & wait" task of needing to wait for a visit from the cable company to deal with the inconsistent internet connection I have. But, the next few hours are mine alone. Nice. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to picking up my lovely daughter, Mira, at the airport in Tucson this evening and having her here in Bisbee for a week! I moved here last June on the same day she left for her travels in India, Cambodia and Thailand this past summer. She's a world traveler, and it will be very cool to show her my new home. I'm hoping to introduce her to as many of my new Bisbee friends as possible. We'll be seeing you around...

Emily Decks Out for the Sandman Show at Elmo's

Yesterday afternoon a bunch of us went down to St. Elmo's in Brewery Gulch to hear our friend Sandman perform his unique blend of Cowboy Rap and Poetry (you've got to hear it to understand - check out his website ).  One of our own - Emily - was sporting quite the amazing outfit...which used to belong to Sammy Davis, Jr.! She says a friend of hers back in New Jersey passed it along to her after a photo shoot with said Sammy.  Now, I think that's just way cool!
