November

Greetings!

I found some pretty golden colors around Sabino Creek on Friday.  Although these pictures are not very desert-like, I hope you'll enjoy them.  Wishing everyone a happy week. :)

Linking to Mellow Yellow Monday.

These pictures were all taken Tuesday except for the sunset which was on Saturday.

Happy Skywatching to you and have a great weekend!
