Bday Party

..reading birthday cards..

Laughter

..is medicine. So is accordian music. The two combined are priceless.

Today

..is a surprise party for my husband!

Manzanita

weathered manzanita...

Simplicity

Forget about keeping up with the Jones'. Do what affords your budget and also fits your style. If you ever find yourself trapped competing in nonsense, then stop. We found these chairs for $19.00 dollars a piece (originally $149.00). They needed some TLC, because of problems in the seats. So I sewed new seat covers. Now, they sit nicely right where they are supposed to.

Winterflower

Just because. Every flower has its cycle. They start from a seed, grow, flourish, wilt...and they dry. And when they seed...the birds look for them for feed!

Roads Down

As a mountain biker, seeing roads like these in front of your eyes means a great workout. And this what the Bradshaw mountains offers plenty of...trail after trail, mountain road after mountain road. A mountain biker haven.

Arizona dreamin'

...my eyes can wonder through the distance and my mind can rest. I am not bothered by the nonsense of the medias noise nor the sound of the engines that surround the city. Man needs that. You can only take so much of rat race melodies and when you do, it exhausts your soul from creativity...

Arizona mountain range

..never end.

Good morning

..to you all..hope it is a good one. (I got to get my white balance adjustments right)

Early morning walk

Near downtown..before sunrise..

Fence Crossing

In a ravine, a trail has been demolished with washed trees from a dam above.

Washed out

Fallen trees washed out from times past, lay along side each other...

Howdy

Of the West!

Moving on

Ok..moving on with the week - with the right attitude.

It is MLK Day today

Let it be a good day.

Feather

..stuck on a branch.

Eagle surrounded

..with birds..

Through a window

Arcosanti buildings have rounded shaped windows with chimes and ornaments.

Arcosanti campus

Tall cyprus trees give the impression as if we were somewhere in Italy : )

Tour Cat

While at Arcosanti, a cat was following us.

Arcosanti

Cafeteria at Arcosanti - about 30 miles west of Prescott. A unique art school of thought. My husband and I decided to drive up and have a cup of coffee and take a tour around the campus.

Chimes...

..ssss, chimes, chimes...

Juniper tree trunk

It is like the grooves on a face of an aged man. Been through a lot, has seen a lot...I just would like to hear what it has seen and heard...

Tall Ponderosa Pines

Along Lynx Lake the Sun colored the Ponderosa Pines on a hillside.

Morning

The blue color off her wing caught my eye. beautiful color.

Cove

Driftwood, large stone and dried weed...

The Dells

The Dells in Prescott.
