JUST LIVING IS NOT ENOUGH ...

YOU HAVE TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS ...

'JUST ONE OF THOSE MEMORIES'

'GYPSY SPRING'

'COMBINED THOUGHTS'

I am down in Arizona and it has been unusually cold (and rainy) for this time of year.  Not complaining though, compared to Idaho we are in the midst of a heat wave here.  But, all this rain and the cold nights are destined to bring out what's called the 'Super Blooms' in the Spring.  That means Lots and Lots of desert flowers!  There are always desert flowers, but when you have weather like this it brings them out in abundance.  I'll keep you posted.  :)

I enjoy exploring old, abandoned buildings.  These are just off the highway heading towards Gila Bend.  I always wonder about the 'story' behind such places.  Who lived here?  Whose dream was this?  

I like the lines of this one.

 

Looking through the window of what is left of an old stone home to remnants of a storage shed (where I found the boot below).

I love this one.  You never know who lurks in the shadows!

And, at some point there was a child ...

And then, there's just rust.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

NIGHT SETTLING IN ...

By the way,
Happy New Year Everyone!
