A picture says 1000 words, and 100 odd probably says 100,000. [smile] Basically, it's easier to do a photo blog about Las Noches De La Lumarias tonight. I will however say that it was amazing and completely work the price of admission (which I say a lot - this is one time where there actually was one!)

I will also mention that the moon rise we saw over the mountains to the east was amazing. I've spent so many occasions scrambling to photograph awesome moons, and more often that not are don't have everything setup before the moment has passed. Tonight was amazing having the camera on the tripod setup, standing at the top of the Sonoran Trail at the gardens in the perfect spot for taking a photo. Naturally, the photos didn't come out that brilliance with the lack of a SLR camera, but still, one of the best situations I've been in for photos, and was a pretty amazing view of the moon coming up in the east.

In any case, without further ado, some of the best photos:

Whispers At The Bus Stop

Driving out to the Botanical Gardens tonight Katie mentioned something about the bus stop - I don't even recall what exactly, something completely off hand - and it dawned on me, for the first time ever, that these are the bus stops. In a way, it was weird that I'd never had that thought before. Just in that there isn't that much in those terms of that that hasn't already dawned on me - if not in my previous times out here in the valley, but certainly since moving out here. Immediately I had a hankering for the tune. But because of an earlier iPod mishap (which is a whole other blog worthy rant in itself [wink] ), it was back at home, still syncing.

"I hate not having my iPod. I wish it would come on the radio right now!"

Once The Edge began to play some crappy song after The Breeders, somewhere on Galvin Parkway, I reached for the dial, switched to Mix and was greeted with "we know your name and we know what you're about...". That right there is what you call a major lodge victory! Totally a glorious moment! Funnily enough, it was also played by request.

Driving towards Papago, dusk on an early December night and Found Out About You playing on the radio right when you want to hear it - it doesn't get much better than that!

Los Noches De La Lumarias was amazing, as expected. Some amazing photos, and my tripod proved to be invaluable. More to come soon including the photos, probably tomorrow after we get back from the Tempe Arts Festival which is on the cards for tomorrow morning.
