S C OT T S DA L E S U N S E T S ARIZONA is known for its vast expanses of azure blue skies during the day, and awe-inspiring sunsets nearly every evening. Lucky us! Ever wondered about the science behind these daily gifts from the universe? Here’s a short primer on why Arizona is blessed with such stunning skies day and night.

Visible light is composed of a spectrum of colors. Some colors, such as violets and blues have short wavelengths. The colors on the other end of the spectrum such as red, orange and yellow have longer wavelengths. When the sun is shining, those wavelengths of color pass through the molecules in our earth’s atmosphere. The amount of time those wavelengths travel through the atmosphere and are detected by our eyes depends on the length of the wavelength and how high the sun is in the sky. The sky in the early morning light, midday or dusk, as you know, looks different to us.

The colors of violet, indigo and blue have short wavelengths and take less time to pass through the atmosphere to reach our eyes. However, the human eye has trouble seeing indigo and violet, so the blue light supersedes all other colors. Thus, our eyes detect skies as blue during the day.

The colors of a sunset, with its deep hues of pink, red, yellow and orange occurs as a result of a phenomenon called scattering. When the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight must pass through more atmosphere to reach our eyes. More atmosphere means there are more molecules to scatter those short wavelengths of blue and violet away from our eyes – leaving mostly only the long-wavelength colors for our eyes to detect.

Arizona’s skies are particularly beautiful for a few reasons.

Our dry climate with a lack of humidity allows for all that direct light to hit our eyes. Moisture particles (and heavy pollution) in the air will diffuse the light and mute the brightness of the colors. Further, the Desert Southwest is more dusty than other parts of the world – we can be thankful for that as far as sunsets are concerned! That dust makes those longer wavelengths such as red and orange take on a more vibrant hue at sunset.

Now go grab your favorite beverage, settle on your view deck, and take in our gorgeous skies as often as you can!

Enjoy outstanding Troon Mountain views from this private hillside lot with a backyard that is almost beyond description.

Ways to Take Title IN ARIZONA

THE POWER OF

When you close escrow on a property, you’ll need to choose how you wish to hold title on your purchase. Here in Arizona, there are several ways to hold title. This is an important decision for you, as the way you hold title can affect many things such as the taxes you’ll pay, estate planning, and protection from probate or creditors. Here, we highlight some of the ways title can be configured. Let us know if you have any questions, and always consult your tax advisor or attorney before you choose how you’ll take title on your new property.

Community Property– This option is only for married couples. Each spouse holds an undivided one-half interest in the property. Each spouse may provide by will for the disposition of his or her community interest in the community real property. However, Arizona community property law requires signatures from both spouses to convey or encumber.

Community Property with Right of Survivorship– This is another way for a married couple to hold title to real property. The advantage here is that the estate passes to the surviving spouse outside of probate and

by T1D.

no court action is required to “clear” title upon the first death.

Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship– Here, the parties involved do not need to be married, and it can include more than two joint tenants. Each joint tenant holds an equal and undivided interest in the estate. One joint tenant may partition the property by selling his or her interest, yet it requires signatures from all to convey or encumber as a whole. Again, the estate passes to surviving tenants outside of probate.

Tenancy in Common– Two or more parties need not be married. Each tenant in common holds an undivided fractional interest in the estate, which can be disproportionate. A tenant in common may transfer his or her undivided interest without destroying the co-tenancy estate.

There are no survivorship rights in a tenancy in common, which means that each tenant’s share can be sold or devised to a third party.

Sole and Separate– Sole and separate property is real property owned

“STEAK” YOUR CLAIM Recently opened in Carefree, Keeler’s Neighborhood Steakhouse promises high-quality Certified Let’s be honest. A room that makes use of the color greige—a combination of gray and beige—probably isn’t your idea of chic, but Benjamin Moore Color & Design Expert Hannah Yeo deems the warm gray tone worthy of your attention. "Greige is classic for a reason," Yeo says. "It's a comfortable backdrop, especially for a paint color. You would be comfortable living with it year after year."

Layer it with other neutrals. Once you incorporate greige into a design scheme with other neutrals, you can notice its true beauty. "There's something magical about neutrals," Yeo says. "Once you put different beiges and greiges together, you start to really see its undertone and personality in the color itself." Plus, the simple act of layering greige with other neutrals adds depth to a room in a subtle way.

While we still appreciate statement hues (hello, Pantone Color of the Year), there’s something special about a room that puts a timeless neutral, like greige, to the test. When used strategically, greige paint can have a transformative effect on a space. But before you grab your paint brush, consider these pointers from Yeo on the best way to showcase the beauty of this neutral shade in your space.

Go for texture. "The more texture—the more depth you create in the room—makes it more interesting," Yeo says. The goal should be to aim for a balance of shiny and matte textures. If your wall has a matte finish, for example, Yeo suggests weaving in a satin fabric or patterned throw pillow. On the other hand, if you have a wall with a sheen finish, incorporate a bit of velvet or a matte fabric to juxtapose that." This helps to create visual interest in the room and elevate the look of the space, Yeo advises.

Embrace its versatility. According to Yeo, there really is no right or wrong way to use greige in an interior. It complements a range of architectural styles, hues, and spaces, from a nursery to a living room. One of Yeo's favorite tactics is to pair a lighter-toned greige with a pop of color. "It can make a soft backdrop that almost disappears," says Yeo. "It is so comforting and focuses on what is in front of it so you can add a pop of color, whether that is through furniture, an accent chair, framed artwork, or even a pattern in a throw pillow that will stand out against that soft, neutral background."

Angus Beef, the freshest seafood available, and American comfort food specialties; all in a casual and unpretentious atmosphere. The neighborhood-joint ambiance is highlighted with a can’t-miss island bar in the center of the restaurant, a large patio for congregating and a rooftop deck for killer sunsets and stargazing.
