Mike watching the sky while on yesterday’s hike into the Weaver Mountains. More about that in previous post.

I’ve been home in Yarnell this weekend and it feels like summer. (Especially compared to the snow on the North Rim.)
Cactus blooming…
…flowers popping with color.
Every where I turned something caught my eye.
Or caught my pants.
What a beautiful world we live in.
From the small and unusual…
…to a tiny hidden alcove of usual desert plants.
We can look down on the world from above,
or look up at the sky from below.
As life scurries along,
I just want to enjoy it all.
The sun reflects on one flower,
and barely finds another.
The old stalks may lean towards the earth…
…while the young reach for the sky.
And water gathers in the draw…
…providing a playground.

I guess you’ll be seeing a bit more of the Weaver Mountains because they are in my back yard.

Balancing rock
How wonderful to walk under a clear blue sky in the high desert, about 50F with barely a breeze in the late afternoon.

Lichen on granite
My heart is set free and my mind wanders over the land further than my feet will tread this day.

Vulture Mts about 60 miles in the distance
I could live here enjoying the view over morning coffee.

Cholla
Need to get up there in the morning to see the light. Yet at 25F as the sun rises I don’t think that will happen soon.

Land four sale
I really don’t want to see this land developed but with the current housing crunch I don’t think they’ll be selling soon. These 4-9 acre properties are listed from $65,000 to 175,000. Utilities have been brought in along the access roads.

Some of the many curves of Highway 89, left to Yarnell and right to Congress
If I was building, my house would not be within sight of any roads or neighbors.To see more of the world, or to share some of your own, visit My World Tuesday by clicking here.
