Got Wings?

The following are two sets of pictures from Camelback Mountain on days I didn't bring my camera. I took these with my phone.

With this title I figured I could kill two birds with one stone - so to speak.

The 'Camelback Chicken' has been around for quite some time now. 

 Obviously a pet chicken gone wild. It is rumored to have been a Firehouse pet that hooked a ride on a truck and escaped.  It is well fed. Daily.

PLUS....

Red Bull gives you wiiiiiings!

Thanks to the Red Bull Girls I had my first Red Bull today and got my wings.

Views From the 'Office'

When I was taking pictures of lichen last week, I was also looking out for other shots to take. There was some haze in the air - dust and particulants, but not terrible (believe me, I've seen it bad).

Up on Camelback Mtn looking toward the Papago Buttes.

Pretty much the same spot, just looking back toward the mtn.

Another spot looking towards 4 Peaks to the east. A bit of snow left up there. The tiny spots in the sky to the left of the rock are most likely swifts flying around.

Looking over downtown Phoenix as the sun sets.

Looking back at Camelback from Papago.

Papago Buttes (the ones on the National Guard property)
