Days like this = Priceless

I don't know if we're just getting used to it or if it's just not as bad...but the wind doesn't seem to really bother us that much anymore. Now, it's definitely still blowing... believe me, but instead of taking the tarp (awning) down with every little whip of air, we just let it do its thing and it passes. Some days are much better than others but when the big gusts come, we just pull the door closed until it passes and then re-open for business! Today has been a gorgeous day though, we have a slight breeze, blue skies, the sunshine is out warming all of the nature...it just feels like one of those exceptionally perfect days. I love days like this, nothing seems wrong or out of place...and the lighting is great for beautiful photos!!

Bloom Shoot

In my (rare) downtime lately I've been shooting pics of the flora out here. I feel the perfect time and light for flower pictures are when it's a little more overcast or cloudy due to the sun not shining so extremely bright to overtake the colors of the plant. With the clouds making shadows on the landscape you can see different depths in the mountains, it makes for a totally different experience.❦

Wow...right!? I just love it. Here are a few more shots of the beautiful life surrounding us...

 Spring in the desert has been a beautiful thing to be able to view over the last several weeks. I can't wait for all of these Yuccas to bloom...it's gonna be a-MAY-zing!


Go on...go 'shoot' your flowers!!
