Mother-in-law

Caroline Wise and Jutta Engelhardt at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

After a very long flight from Frankfurt, Germany, that included a three-hour stop-over in Los Angeles, Jutta, my mother-in-law, is greeted by Caroline. It has been two years since she last visited. This will be her longest visit to America; she will be with us for six weeks.

Venice in the Desert

May 12, 2005December 25, 2023 JWise Photo of the Day

When money is of no concern even desert dwellers can live on artificial lakes and go boating under the 120 degree sun in Scottsdale, Arizona

Artificial lakes in Arizona offer residents the opportunity to go boating right in the middle of the desert. On hot days, though, it smells a bit funny here, or is that just the new aroma of Scottsdale?

Neighborhood Horses

Horse properties in our neighborhood make for a good distraction from the cookie cutter homes here in Phoenix, Arizona

Horse properties around the corner from us break up the monotony of the cookie-cutter homes so prevalent in Phoenix, Arizona.

Mini Pile-up

May 10, 2005December 25, 2023 JWise Photo of the Day

A mini pile-up of cars on the way to the office in Phoenix, Arizona

What an ugly way to start the day – coffee and crashing. Four cars play pile-up and fortunately, no one was hurt. A half-mile further down the road, we came across another fender bender. You can bet we were extra careful the remainder of the drive.

Landline in Phoenix, Arizona

Too busy talking on the phone to worry about the photo of the day, so I photographed the phone.

Mother’s Day

May 8, 2005December 25, 2023 JWise Photo of the Day

Graffiti sprawled on wall, 'For Mom - Happy Mother's Day' in Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix, Arizona, has typically taken a dim view of graffiti and has been quick to dispatch unseen workers who remove the tags before most people recognize they have shown up. Recently though, more and more graffiti is hanging on. Today, we saw this tag dedicated to Moms on Mother’s Day.
