Where is Lj now?

It came to my attention that this blog designed to advise where in the world Lj is now, doesn't.  So, the update is that I am in Sierra Vista, AZ.   SE Arizona, about 30 miles as the crow flies to the Mexican border, about 2 hours to the New Mexico border and 70 miles by road from Tucson.

Sierra Vista is surrounded by mountains in varying degrees of closeness. About 45,000 +/- population; 4,633 in elevation; the hummingbird capital of the United States (have not seen even 1 yet) and was the site of the first McDonald's drive thru which opened in 1975.  

The mountains contain remnants of old towns, rolling fields/pastures as well as a variety of different rock types.   High desert it is cooler than Tucson.  3 English congregations and 1 Spanish.  

So there you have a run down of where I am and here are some pictures:

 North American Monsoon season is July and August.  Typically only for a short time during the day.  Torrential downpours and thunderstorms.

 Awesome sunsets and sunrises (since Arizona doesn't do the time change thing it comes really early in the summer, haven't got a picture of one yet, lol).

Arizona is not usually associated with rolling fields but there are spots and especially during Monsoon season it is very green.

 Even the fallen part of this awesome tree is thriving.

 Just a cool tree trunk.

 "River" may be greatly exaggerated, "Puddle" would be a more apt description.

 A volleyball net in the most unexpected place.
