I enjoy sharing new photos and am back for the new year. Wishing you and your family the happiest of times and shining moments.

My 2013 goal:  Capture, edit and print our own family moments and keep our life simple!

I often wish I had some pictures during those times.  A quick sneak peek with more to come!  Thank you Miss Sherry for the fun time.

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

There are so many reasons to love camping: bright stars, no distractions from family and nature, long walks to nowhere, discovering bird’s nests, watching the bugs, collecting rocks, devouring marshmallows and hanging out with good friends.  But, at three in the morning, I could have easily come up with a few reasons not to camp!

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life,

and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

The prickly pear cactus showing off it’s delicate flower.  I love the contrast of a beautiful flower on a rough and prickly plant.

I just could not choose between the color and the black and white. Hmmm. Color is a rarity in the desert, but on the other hand black and white always attracts me especially to demonstrate the desert landscape.  What do you think?

The majestic saguaro stands alone and is completely amazing to me and I have lived among them my whole life!  The Cactus Hotel, a children’s book, is a must read for all children!

I love them when used so lovely.

Yeats creates this image and I went back to these photographs of the two fairy princesses playing in the backyard.  This is how intense children play and I wish for that passion in my everyday life, like a flame upon the mountain!  So, try to spread your wings a little more each day, who knows where you will go!
“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
~William Butler Yeats, “The Land of Heart’s Desire,” 1894

Always enjoy my time outside with friends and a camera.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
