Waterfall

Waterfall at Freestone Park

Man-made or natural, I find water falling over rock very soothing

Running Free

Running Free

When was the last time you found yourself running
atop a wall, free from cares?

A Pair of Geese

 A Pair of Geese

A pair of swimmers on Riparian Pond,
a breeze created dimples in the water's surface

Hole-y Rock

Hole in the Rock

As it neared sunset, we dashed out for a hike at
Papago Park, where Hole in the Rock is. 
As always, I was hoping for a spectacular sunset,
but the clouds held.  It was still a very pretty evening.

Ducks

Here come da ducks!

I crouched down to Sadie's level and peered through the
posts, aiming my camera as we watched the ducks
swim toward us -- probably hoping for some kind of treats!

Late afternoon walk at Riparian,
where Sadie and I spied this turtle
catching the last rays of the day.

Hyacinth in Bloom

Hyacinth in Bloom

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.  
They just open up and turn toward the light 
and that makes them beautiful.

Mesa Snow!

This was the scene looking out of my aunt's front window 
as it snowed here in the Valley of the Sun!
Having lived in Ohio for 10 years, I realize the snow here
wasn't quite the same... but it was snow nonetheless!
