Cloudy Morning in Tucson

Etherton Gallery

After lunch today, we went downtown Tucson to the Etherton Gallery.  I wanted to see Steve McCurry's photography exhibit.  It was wonderful, set off by his most famous photograph of the green eyed Afghan girl.  There were so many iconic photos!  I really enjoyed seeing them.

Medicine Man Gallery

Papa and I were inspired by the Cameron Trading Post a few days ago, so we stopped by the Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson today.  The Gallery is primarily the collection of Mark Sublette, a former doctor, now collector of western art, jewelry, rugs, pottery, baskets, and much more.  Mark Sublette is also an author of novels as well as western art research books.  The Gallery is beautiful and full of “western eye candy.”  I love the Navajo blankets and rugs.

Walk at Sunset

Papa and I went on our evening walk through the neighborhood after dinner.  The light on the mountains was beautiful, as was the sky after the sun went down.  Nice!

Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon has been on my "go to list" for years.  Papa and I took a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon, on Navajo Tribal Land, this morning.  It was amazing!  Every twist and turn was more beautiful than the last.  We entered the slot canyon at 10:30 and came out about 90 minutes later, with the sun moving overhead during that time, so the light was varied inside the canyon.  We were lucky to get a tour time during the middle of the day, when there were a few minutes with shafts of light shining through the canyon.  Loved it!

Sunset over Lake Powell

Papa and I went to the Wahweap Overlook yesterday evening, in time to see the sun setting over Lake Powell.  The colors were breathtaking!
