Verna and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Arizona Sunset
We enjoyed this colorful sunset in Wickenburg this evening. Click on the image to enlarge.
Granite Counters
We drove to Arizona today through some pretty awful weather to take some fixtures to our new house. When we got there, we were amazed at the progress made by the contractor’s crew since our last visit.
I took this picture of the granite counter top in the little bath. You can see the beautiful patterns and colors of the granite slabs that are also in the kitchen and the master bath. Click on the image to enlarge.
Multicolor Webcam Art Fun
This works only if you have a webcam installed.
The program I use to prepare Adobe Flash® animations has a blog. Their authors will post articles describing various aspects of the program. Yesterday, they posted about importing webcam video into the animation. I downloaded the example program and tried it out. This is the result – 25 mini me images rendered with different video filters:
If you do have a webcam you might try out the flash animation below the fold. You will have to give your permission to allow access to your camera.
Wildlife in Our Arizona Yard
We see cottontails, quail, lots of different birds and these little chipmunk-like critters scurrying around the property. The paint on the ground next to this little guy identify the underground utilities so the construction crew doesn’t dig there.
Naturally, with all these little guys on hand there will be predators. We haven’t seen coyotes yet but a neighbor tells us they are frequently seen.

Happiness is a Warm Puppy (or Two)
When the weather gets cold and rainy, the Mama puts on our sweaters and gives us blankets to keep warm. Sometimes I let Cabela share my bed even though she has one too. Click the picture to make us big. OK nap time now – bye.
