    2016 – Archaic Openings

    After a full day at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, we spent the next day touring Mission San Xavier del Bac, AKA “The White Dove of the Desert”, just 10 miles south of downtown Tucson.

    On this visit, I was preoccupied with photographing doors, windows, gates, and arches … any and all openings at both the mission school and this historic church, completed in 1797.

    2016 – An Aircraft Extravaganza

    After our day at Tombstone, AZ, our next stop was the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ.

    That’s hubs in my feature photo, anxious to get the visit started.

    My father-in-law was a pilot overseas in WW2, so this place was high on the “must see” list for hubs.

    We arrived around 0930 and stayed until after 1600 hours. The 24 hour clock (aka military time) was used all through my nursing career, and it seemed appropriate for this post.

    In truth, I enjoyed this massive place too. While hubs read every single word on every single sign, I was in my glory snapping pics.

    Here a few of the over 150 photos I took there:
