A little extra Christmas cheer

So I went to IKEA saturday and found this red wreath there for $19.99.  I think it looks just right on my front door:

Out for a drive

On the way back from a Saturday drive to IKEA I snapped a few random pictures of the sights of the Valley...

In the middle of a traffic jam on I-10 by Sky Harbor Airport I snapped a picture of a Southwest airlines jet coming in for a landing overhead:


And another jet coming in on the other runway as traffic cleared:

A beautiful view of the mountains north of downtown from the HOV lane flyover bridge on AZ route 51:

The "mini-stack" where I-10, AZ Loop 202, and AZ route 51 all come together:

The "north stack" where I-17 and the Loop 101 come together is tangled maze of flyover bridges going in every direction:

A rare rainy day...

Last monday the sun disappeared for a day and we got our first significant rainfall in over 5 months...

Hmm... where to go?

Heading south on the loop 101, the Estrella Mountains are blanketed by rain-clouds:

The peak of the Estrella Mountains is up in the clouds just south of my home as seen from the Loop 101:


And even the Hedgepeth Foothills by my old apartment were hiding in the cloudy-mist:
