Shadows and birds were found yesterday morning at a running event at a park in Tucson. First the shadows…
volunteers carrying water
men’s race
some take a cup of water
It’s all good!
Many more shadow pictures at Shadow Shot Sunday.

I enjoyed the race photos, Diane. It looks as though it's warm there now - it was downright cool when I was in Phoenix! Such a lovely assortment of birds, too. Martha tells me she's related to you - I hope to meet up with her next month in Sacramento.
The birds of Arizona are a brilliant in their colors as their dessert floral counterparts. Beautiful, Gemma.
looks like it was a lovely day for the race ... I enjoyed the bird photos
Hi Barb, We did have some freaky unseasonably cool weather in Arizona last week. Yes, Martha of Martha's Musings blog is my aunt. Enjoy Sacramento!
I like those shadows from the runners. Great shots!
Shadow Shot Sunday
Shadows chase runners—
will darkness be the winner
or will light prevail?
Wisdom stone
Looks like the birds are wondering why those people just don't fly, it's a lot easier...
How different and beautiful things are in your part of the country. We are all about tulips and daffodils in the great lakes region. I loved this glimpse of Arizona through your blog!
Love to see those birds in macro, they lure me to take some of their relatives over here.
Diane,
Okay, those race pictures look downright HOT (as I sit here with a sweatshirt on...in Wisconsin!!). I would take a bit of that heat right about now!! And...well, I love race pictures - thanks for sharing them!!
Nice morning for a run. Love your bird pictures, too! Some of them I'd never seen before.
Beautiful day for a run ... I think I would have had the water poured on me ... The bird pictures are exquisite. I can never get close enough to get many good bird pictures, so I'm enjoying these doubly!
Happy SSS!
All that running looks like hard work! Love the sporty shadows! Have a great week!
And here I was thinking it would be getting kind of hot for running down there. I'll bet the water thrown on felt pretty good.
Love your bird shots. I so rarely see a quail perched.
Shadowy runners, cool!
Great shadow shots and your pictures of the birds are awesome, as always :) Have a great week.
Wow great photos. I love the little birdie on the bench. Actually they are all nice.
What a lovely post, Diane..All the shadow shots are great, and the birds are just beautiful to see..
Wow, you get some wonderful bird shots! (People shots, too, but I'm such a bird fan).
It looks like the runners were out early, that makes some good shadows. You got great bird shots while waiting, the Vermilion Flycatcher and Tropical Kingbirds are not ones I have seen here. We didn't see many birds in Death Valley, Jules saw a roadrunner while I was in the van doing dishes but I missed it, darn.
quel courage pour la course et quelle beautee pour les oiseaux !
Very nice photojournalism (I'd die running in what looks like very hot weather conditions to me!)and your birds are so, so pretty! Boy is the camera shy little 'un blushing! ;-)
A great serie , with runners and birds
well done , Diane
OH to be in SE Arizona in the spring time to see the amazing variety of birds!!
With different backgrounds, the bird photos look beautiful. The Gambel's quail photo looks different and interesting.
I am impressed with your lovely bird shots. We have some wonderful birds, but they are camera shy. Thanks for sharing yours.

I remember when I ran the 1/4 marathon, it was so welcoming to see the water
Incredible shots of these birds. Seems like you had a great start to the day.
