Giant wind turbines on top of hill along I-10 near Palm Springs look like little daisies from the car

As always wonderful sky photos.

The perk of living in Arizona is our fabulous skies ! and my over stuffed iPhoto is proof of that.

Looks like you had a lovely trip.

cheers, parsnip

Wow! You had lovely skies on you trip back from L.A,!

I really like the photo of the wind turbines. For some strange reason it makes me smile. :)

But actually I like all the photos!

Great skywatching series but I think the bes is the one from your own window. You do have nice sunrises in Arizona.

I saw the daisies 19 years ago. Your photo brought back memories. And it’s a great photo too.
Sunrise in Phoenix is a truly wonderful photo. Aah, by the time I get there…..

All the best, Boonie

Beautiful skies and scenery, one and all. It's been a while since we've seen Picacho Peak. Hiked it once in the springtime, almost 10 years ago. Love that sunrise, though - WOW!
