After work, after errands...the evening light on the season's first substantial snowfall on the mountaintops behind Tucson:
...the view of the central Santa Catalinas from our neighborhood...
...I love the verticality of climate and season in southern Arizona: from the cactus-zone to the grassland-zone up to the oak-and-juniper-zone to the wintry pine-zone, finally to the mixed evergreen forest above 8000 feet--all in one shovel-free 'backyard' view:
From the summer of 2005 to the summer of 2006, my wife and I lived in León, Nicaragua. During that year we sent weekly e-mails to friends…and the habit of doing so spawned this, my first blog, when we returned to the Pacific NW.
I grew up in Germany, Arizona, and Georgia before moving to Seattle (I was an army brat); after a year there, and then a year in France, I returned to the Pacific Northwest, where I got married. My wife and I spent several years in Seattle before going to live in Central America for a year…
In the summer of 2007 we relocated (again) to Arizona…And now, several years later, and after a month-long stay in Korea, I no longer want the blog’s title to be geographically-specific, so as of July 8, 2011, "allophile” is the new home for the blog. Thanks for following…
