Blog : Simmons B. Buntin: Full Moon Ringtail

http://riverfall.blogspot.com/2010/01/full-moon-ringtail.html

Saturday, January 30, 2010. On January's full moon - the closest moon to Earth in two years - we discovered a ringtail in the tree near the Civano neighborhood center. Fortunately, I had my camera nearby, and was able to spend some time with our neighbor. Check out the gallery for all 19 of the photos. Here are a few, smaller photos:. Another wonderful reason why I love living in the Sonoran desert. View the full gallery at http:/ www.simmonsbuntin.com/images/gallery/2010/ringtail. Simmons B. Buntin.

Though I couldn't get as close to the cranes, there were thousands more here than in central New Mexico last January. And the clouds! Amazingl...

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Wildlife and Daughters at the Desert Museum. On January 31 I visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum with visitors from out of town. Of course, I seemed to only take photos of wildlife, the grounds, and my daughters. No surprise there. Here are a few of the shots, and a total of 28 can be found in larger format over in my gallery. My daughters are all smiles beside the organ pipe cactus near the Desert Museum's entrance. A showy Costa's hummingbird in the hummingbird aviary.
