The View From Here

For some reason I keep getting surprised by the mix of loveliness and trouble that I encounter as I move through life. There are very few pure moments– everything is jumbled together. I’m thinking about Sudan but Arizona insists on oozing its gorgeousness all over my metaphorical windscreen. A drive of an hour or two in almost any direction will yield gasp-worthy vistas; a close study of any square yard of mountainside compels me to look closer, and yet closer, at the intricately balanced system of flora and fauna.
To wit:
Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona
View of Sedona’s Red Rocks from a mesa top near Prescott
Desert Flowers with a Blurry Butterfly
Rainbow outside Tuscon

You’ve gotta be kidding me. That’s almost too gorgeous to believe.
THANK YOU for sharing.
Breathtaking. It’s great to discover things that you enjoy about a new home.
Just . . . confounding.
Hey, it’s pictures of home! And people wonder why I miss Arizona. They think the desert is just heaps of barren sand. How very, very wrong they are, eh?
(Nice shot of Picacho Peak).
