Nobody can say Happy Thanksgiving better than Norman Rockwell . . .

Devil’s Tongue Cactus Flowers
More Second Spring flowers today. These are the hot pink flowers on my Devil’s Tongue Barrel Cactus. There are lots more buds getting ready to open. Click on the image to enlarge.
A Visit to the Dog Park
We had a notion to take the dogs to the Wickenburg dog park today. We were lucky that we were the only ones that showed up. The dogs had a blast and so did the Mama and the Daddy. Click on the image to enlarge.
Friends Drink First
A couple of weeks ago, a couple of life-sized bronze statues appeared in front of our local cowboy-oriented variety store. I have been trying to get a photo of this statue from a moving vehicle, so today we pulled into the store’s parking lot and I got this image of “Friends Drink First,” a bronze statue that is for sale.

Second Spring Continues
After a brief cold spell early in November, we thought that second spring in Arizona was through. Thanks to some favorable weather patterns, the mid 70’s days are still with us and forecast to continue into next week. Meanwhile, the bees are still browsing the flowers on the rosemary ground cover behind the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.
Rottweiler Vehicle Protection System
I saw these pretty dogs in the bed of a pickup truck in the parking lot of the supermarket today. They were barking at anyone who would come near their truck. Would-be truck thieves would think twice three times about approaching their truck. 😉 Click on the image to enlarge.
Sun Dogs and Circumhelical Arc
Damsel captured this image of some pretty spectacular atmospheric optical effects this afternoon. There are two pronounced sun dogs left and right of the solar disc, a fainter one above and traces of a circumhelical arc connecting the dogs. The cirrus clouds, consisting of minute ice crystals acting as prisms, were refracting the sunlight into the colorful display. Click on the image to enlarge.
It was a beautiful day here, temperature in mid 70’s and this stunning visual display.
