Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #2000 – December 22, 2024, 10:44:21 pm Visited Florence AZ on the 21 and today (12.22.24) caught an owl napping in the tree behind my house. In Florence we visit the Pima County Historical Museum (also found a great Greek restaurant, Mt Athos). The town's claim to fame was a few shoot-im-ups after its founding, one of the last stage coach robbers (a woman!), the place were cowboy film star Tom Mix passed away (he was a friend to the town and often spent off time there), and the site of a POW camp for Germans and Italians captured during WWII. The area had a river running most of the year. It was a place where sheep and cattle were ranched. At the turn of the 19/20th century they had hopes of becoming the Capital city of AZ. This is only mentioned in Florence so I do not know how much of a chance they had. But at the time it was a major town in what was then the last territory in what was the 47 states. Yea, AZ was considered too wild to be admitted along with NM. Range wars and stage coach robberies and the like.Happy Hollidays everyone! 9 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #2002 – January 26, 2025, 10:46:23 pm Another beautiful day here at Quartzsite! The guy who owns the Tioga in the photo has 1400W of solar on the roof and 1500W of battery. He runs his air conditioner with no problems, although he hasn’t needed it here at Q with the cool temperatures right now. 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #2003 – February 02, 2025, 07:56:32 am I am always somewhat amazed how all dogs from wolfs to foxes to poodles play alike. I caught these coyotes playing in the desert behind the house the other day. Despite the look and teeth, this was play. After it was over the two trotted off to join the rest of the pack that lives in the area. I think that this two are from last year's litter. 6 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #2005 – February 14, 2025, 01:24:07 pm That is sad. Since it's a protected species, is it legal to keep the shell if you find one dead?
