Dana Point with a Twist

A Miami twist that is. Overcast Dana Point with a bit of the '80s sherbet tossed in for color. Where is Don Johnson when you need him?

My beautiful unincorporated town of San Tan Valley.

We're trying to incorporate our town. I can't say we're little, far from it. We're over 80,000 strong. By all rights, we're actually a city, if we were just incorporated!
We are one of the largest communities in this part of Arizona and the largest in our county. But when $$ comes into the picture one of the very small towns near us is fighting to keep us unincorporated.
They want our tax dollars, but don't provide the support that we need as a very large growing community.
I really hope that this gets settled, I know personally I am not fond of my tax dollars going to help towns other then my own to grow, while we sit here *without* those tax dollars to keep our own roads repaired, or our own in town emergency services.

I've been waiting since last February to capture clouds again with my trusty Canon....
We're still waiting for the rain, but at least we have some beautiful clouds to keep us occupied out here in the Sonoran Desert!

Bookend kitty says "Leave me alone!"

My beloved TK has never learned to give "the look" that my Willow monster has down to a science... you know, the look that just makes you melt and want to go all Elmira on your kitty. That look.. But TK has his perks. He loves me undeniably and would sleep curled up next to me til the end of time if I would just stay in bed with him. <3.

Malibu in early July.
Of course our first night there it clouded up and started to drizzle, and stayed clouded and drizzly the entire trip.

So having a bit of fun with freakish editing, sorry Malibu, but you just didn't give me much to work with!
