Desert Beauty

We took a trip to Lake Powell last week! I could not get enough of those mesas and red sand!! It has a unique beauty about it that I just loved. I could never LIVE in a hot place like that but I sure loved visiting it... especially when home is still having freezing temps at night! Instead I enjoyed 90° weather and water at 75°! It was glorious!

Most of my pictures were taken from my window as we drove by; I would have LOVED to stop every 30 minutes and take pictures of the new scenery!Just check out all the colors!
And funky formations
And caves
Peace. Right. HereLargest natural bridge in the world. AWESOME.Delicate

River Front Property

I often dream of owning a great deal of land. On which, of course, would be some body of water; I'd take a river, stream, pond, lake... you get the point. I daydream of riding horses through the wooded areas and through the water. It would be even better if it were butted up to a mountain range.

I have found in the past 5 years that water is a must for me. The sound of a river or ocean waves is very soothing to my soul. I find peace and serenity. It's hard to describe the strength that I feel standing at the water's edge.
These last two are my favorites. I love the tree on the left of this one. The leaves are just BARELY making an appearance. I love the colors in this one. The red bushes. The rocks. The water. The cottonwoods. I just might have to come back and sit on these rocks every now and then.
