~ Ancient Ironwood at Sunset ~
While Seattle is dealing with an unusually snowy winter, Tucson is basking in glorious warmth, and today will be in the mid-seventies.
This sunset photo, taken at the Ironwood Picnic Area in Tucson Mountain Park, is a visual blanket to wrap around yourself as you're pouring the morning cup of coffee.
Come visit! We have great home prices, world-class real estate agents, and some of the best interest rates available since you were born.
Oh! And I forgot to mention that Tucson has the lowest gasoline prices in the nation!
...and world-class golf resorts.
...and world-class birding.
You get the idea! Good morning! Plan a visit soon.

Thanks for being the first to comment! I knew that the cloud cover was going to provide a great sunset, so I drove to this location and waited. I wasn't disappointed~

Hi Mike, Great photo. We saw a really old Ironwood tree in Williamsburg a while back. Not many in our area. Sounds like you are having great weather. Enjoy!

Mike, this is beautiful. I have two old ironwood trees on my property - this gave me a new appreciation for them. I'll have to head out the next time we have some clouds.

Good Morning Mike, This is just awesome. The color of fire. AZ seems blessed with the amazing sunsets and sunrises.
The Texas Hill Country is enjoying a mild winter as well. My dog and I have had some nice hiking trips this winter. I even had a birding trip in one of our State Natural Areas recently.
Glad to see that you are enjoying a warm winter as well, and thanks for sharing your GLORIOUS photo!
Mike - you have some of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen, thank you for sharing them.
Mike now that is truly an awesome photo. BTW we are comfortably in the low 70's here in Marina Del Rey as well:)
I have been to the beautiful Tucson area on several occasions, watched the sunset over Lemon Mountain after a day of hiking and bird watching-I'd recommend a visit to this gorgeous place to anyone!
I use to live in Tucson on Amahl Drive. How I miss that brilliantly colored sunset sky! Thanks for the great picture post.
Mike, congratulations on your FEATURED post. The color of the sunset looks like a fire. Thanks for sharing.
Exquisite. Thanks.
GOOD MORNING MIKE! I do believe this is one I will copy and post on my business page - very beautiful!
A beautiful sunset Mike, this country has so much beauty to see. What is the age of the tree?
Do you know? How old do they grow to ? Thanks

Mike, That is really a great shot! I love the yellow and oranges contrasted with the trees!
Wonder how old that tree is? Ancient probably actually does sum it up fairly accurately.
Here's another photo of this particular tree. I don't know how old it is, but it's huge for an Ironwood!

Mike That is gorgeous - it is far more effective than low gasoline prices :)
What a fantastic photo. I love the Sedona area, have visited many times the colors are so very vivid in that area.
Hi Mike - this is another fantastic picture of the beauty that you find in the Arizona desert. Good shot.
