Sunset in the desert

Had a wonderful lunch on our patio today with our fountain burbling and watching hummingbirds coming to our feeder.

Beautiful sunset tonight…and listening to a Pavarotti special….some early footage…does it get any better than this!  At the moment an aria from Turnadot.  An opera we saw in Paris in 1972….we had "semi-visibility (partial view) seats we got for around $3.  We had a whole private box to ourselves but we had to strain our necks to see anything.  It began with a chorus of about 250 people and four horses on stage.   Our first trip to Europe and we were travelling light.  My most dressy outfit was a red hot pant  outfit and Jim had a golf shirt and khakis.  Everyone else was in formal dress….all the men in tuxes.
