I have collected a few shots and will add to them as I find them
Some people doubt that this is a desert where I live simply because of all the greenery.
If we didn't live between two rivers and pull water for irrigation from them this place would look like the badlands.
I live about 6 miles from this monument,
This is the one that was used for the old Lincoln Mercury comercial years ago
it is called Independence cap

Good morning everyone,

I keep telling people I believe this is where God comes to take some quiet time.

Iagree, one of the most beautiful places on earth.
I could never leave for very long.
I will post more pictures today.

Here is a picture of a place that came as a total surprise to me.
I found this canyon while chasing one of my illusive Spanish trails.
This place took my breath completely away.

There are no roads or visible trails into or out of this place.
You see it as pristine as I did.
Sorry, no location listed.
This one is mine.

Wanda,

That is one of the reasons I could never stay away for too long.

Looking the other way...

Tom,

I can't think of a single place on earth that I have seen that offers more for the soul.

On another side, if the view doesn't take your breath away...
The heat will.

LOL

Cyndi,
My main worry for that little one right now is pulling the cactus out of her feet.
I think the better part of valor is to let her get a bit larger before I take her out.
