Global Day of Prayer: Tucson, Arizona

This was the 10th Annual Global Day or Prayer (GDOP), and the second I have been to in Tucson  It was so good to see so many people come together in prayer for out city, nation and world.  Although the original plans was to have it on the UofA mall again; I feel the last minute change to the west side of Old Main turned out to be for the better.  Thank you to everyone who invested their time to make this come together again (Especially you Mike)!  Feel free to check out a few pictures from last years GDOP as well.


















Thank you, God Bless

Joel: Epic Senior Pictures

A little random, a little serious, and a lot of fun.  These are a couple words I would use to describe both Joel and his senior shoot.    I don't know anyone else quite like him; and I think that is what makes him so cool.  We went up Mount Lemmon to play in the woods a little bit; and then came back down to Windy Point for Sunset.  Congratulations to Joel and all of the class of 2010




Glockenspieling on the mountain; yeah, it's just that cool

Witt Family Pictures - Agua Caliente Park - Tucson

A week ago Monday I went over to Agua Caliente Park with the Witt family to do some family pictures.  Ague Caliente Park is one of the few places in Tucson with water and it makes for a beautiful backdrop.  Unfortunately, since I was there on Monday, I found out that you are supposed to have a special permit to do any kind of professional photography.  Now I know.

I was a little concerned going in that photographing a family of 11 could be a major headache; the Witt's however made it as easy on me as I hopefully did on them.  They were such a blessing to work with (Thank you).

National Day of Prayer, Himmel Park, Tucson

This year for the National Day of Prayer in Tucson we held various smaller meetings around the city as opposed to the typical city-wide gathering. Although it was a smaller group I don't believe it was any less meaningful.  Besides the prayer and worship itself, we had absolutely perfect weather for an evening in the park.

May Wallpaper(s) of the Month

This month you get two for the price of one; or in other words, still free!  Both of these images are from this past Friday's hike up Table Mountain.  Because they each had a vastly different feel to it; I decided to include them both

Santa Catalina Mountains

Crazy Beautiful

It was crazy and it was definitely beautiful.   Table Mountain was really a spur-of-the-moment hike, although it has been somewhat on my "to-hike" list since moving to Tucson.  With it 'now' being May 1st, I had a feeling we wouldn't have such beautiful hiking weather again until probably next fall.  Table mountain has a very distinct look when compared to the surrounding mountains.  You would know it if you saw it; its the white, squarish, shrub covered mountain on the southwest side of the Catalina's.  From the northwest, it is the highest point of Pusch Ridge.  The only drawback to it being an amazingly cool mountain is the fact that half the trip is bushwhacking up the side of the mountain through cactus and other not-so-friendly plants.  All in all it was well worth the trip

The First mile or so from the parking lot is just taking you to the mouth of the canyon.  This is the view looking southeast towered downtown and the Tucson Mountains.

Our first glimpse of "Table Mountain" since starting the hike.  Looks a little farther than I thought.

Not long before leaving the canyon floor, and the trail, we came to this beautiful pool for a short rest.

A view up Pima Canyon


About halfway up the clouds begin to look a little ominous.  Thankfully this did not last


Pusch Ridge and the summit of Table Mountain.  This is looking northeast towered Mount Lemon

The "victory name signing" at the summit.  One person humorously wrote "At this point I don't have any legs left"

In the foreground you can see Oracle Road going left to right..  The little "bump" in the middle of the image is Picacho Peak
