Images of the Tucson Mountains from the Catalina Foothills by kenne
Of the mountains surrounding Tucson, Santa Catalina, Rincon, and Santa Rita, the Tucson Mountains are lowest in elevation. Therefore, seeing snow on them is very unusual. The recent snows in the Tucson area provided for images rarely seen in this desert city.

Beautiful shots of a beautiful place. :O)
Thanks. Tucson is beautiful, but photo ops like this don’t happen everyday.
Lots of sky and sunshine on the snowcapped mountains behind the house make it such an uplifting photo. I sat back and relaxed while gazing at it.
Yes, the sun was hitting just right. Thanks.

I am following you blog, and hope you’ll follow mine too.
Nice shot! Love the mountains w/snow. To me snow on the mailbox is no biggie & something I’m sick of, by now. But to see those incredibly lovely cacti growing at the base of the mailbox is wondrous & something I never see in New England.
I love the mailbox shot. Snow on the mailbox and the cactus next to it. Just a nice shot.
Thanks for the comment. Usually we have to go up into the mountains to see snow — officially we had 1″ here in Tucson with much more at the higher elevations.
Thank you for your kind comment, it is most appreciated and welcomed.
This is gorgeous! The snow being on the Tuscon mountains may be another sign of climate change.
Yes, I agree. Thanks for stopping by.
