Event Photography: Watershed Management Group Earth Month
April 26th, 2010Throughout this month, Tucson's Watershed Management Group has been celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. WMG's Earth Month celebration included a block party, street painting, a bike tour of water harvesting sites, and several workshops.
The last two Earth Month workshops were held in my neighborhood. A nearby neighbor had a culvert cistern installed, while the action in my yard focused on tuning up the earthworks.
After the WMG volunteers enlarged a water harvesting basin in my front yard, it was time to move the hesperaloe, which I had planted in a shady spot.
My bad.
Hesperaloes are xeriscape plants that need full sun. So, let's give it a new home near the driveway. Plenty of sunshine there...

I must say that, as of this morning, the hesperaloe appears to be thriving.
Elsewhere on the front yard xeriscaping project WMG's Matthew Bertrand (right) and Charlie, the go-to guy for any stonemasonry work, measure the slope of the drainage they've built at the edge of the enlarged water harvesting basin...

The drainage will direct excess basin water into the rock garden that Matthew's standing on.

Event Photography: Fiesta en el Barrio Viejo 2010
April 7th, 2010This past Saturday, a Tucson tradition began. Nine local bands joined together for a rousing good fundraiser for our community radio station, KXCI-FM 91.3. As one would expect from a station that plays a little bit of everything, a wide variety of musical talent was on display.
Headliners Calexico weighed in with a tasty blend of Americana and alt-country...

Sergio Mendoza y la Orkestra lit up the late afternoon with a high-energy set combining rock and mambo...

Away from the stage, fiesta-goers made their own entertainment. A spirited group of beginning and experienced hula-hoopers set up shop by the bar. With varying degrees of success, they twirled the day away...

March 30th, 2010This past Saturday was another one of those warm, sunny Tucson classics. Perfect for one of the first days of spring 2010. All the better for holding Solar Rock, a sun-powered concert in Himmel Park.
Attendees could review and sign the Solar Energy Industries Association's Solar Bill of Rights...

Or how about some Arizona sun-baked pizza?

Event Photography: 4th Avenue 2010 Spring Street Fair
March 24th, 2010This past weekend was one of those springtime Tucson classics. Sunny days, warm temperatures, and who wants to spend a moment indoors? Time to head down to 4th Avenue for the 40th annual Street Fair.
If you rode your bike to the fair, the City of Tucson offered free valet parking. And, yes, I took advantage of it -- that's my bike at the far left...

The 4th Avenue Street Fair stretches for a mile between University Boulevard and the railroad tracks. That's a lot of walking and calorie-burning, but not to worry. These guys would be happy to help you out...

Care for some music to go with your fair shopping? There were plenty of acts to choose from. Here's Tucson singer/songwriter Leila Lopez...

"Spin and win! Everyone's a winner here at KXCI!" says deejay Ron Cipriani. A fairgoer pays a dollar for a spin of the community radio station's wheel -- and she wins a prize...

Nature Photography: Winter Rains Bring Spring Weeds
March 5th, 2010It's been a very rainy winter here in Tucson. More than three inches of the wet stuff has fallen on my house and yard since January. We're supposed to get more rain this weekend.
In addition to bringing forth spring flowers like the ones on this front yard primrose...

...the rains have also given rise to a bumper crop of weeds...

Which leads me to coin a new slogan: Weed-pullers of the world unite!
