Sedona Secret Revealed

When I first glimpsed this home in Sedona, AZ I was livid.

Who dared to "spoil" the landscape? 

Then I thought maybe I'm just a wee bit jealous because...

I'd sure love to live here (but only if I have a housekeeper

and groundskeeper). 

I was curious as to who owned this perfect spot when...

lo and behold a comment on one of my photos from a kindred spirit

had the answer.

Go here for it.

Scroll through the beautiful photos until you, too, find the 

secret revealed.

Fierce Rabbit

"This is a fierce bad rabbit;

look at his savage whiskers,

and his claws and his turned-up tail."

--Beatrix Potter

Not really...but try telling that to my dog; 

he chased the poor rabbit away...

Bottomless Pond

While some men believe in the infinite,

some ponds will be thought to be

bottomless.

~Henry David Thoreau

Seeing...

Most people in the city rush around so, 

they have no time to look at a flower...

I want them to see it whether they want to or not...

Independence Day in Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia is where the Founding Fathers declared America's independence back in 1776. 

Happy Birthday, America!

All across America, flags are flying today.

Happy 4th of July!

Fire in Los Alamos, NM

 This fire at Los Alamos, NM scorched a section of the Tech Area 49, used for a series of underground tests with high explosives and radioactive materials.

Here, the sun tries to penetrate the smoke at Los Alamos. Hopefully they'll soon get the fires under control.

Where there's smoke...

...smoke from fires burning in Arizona and Colorado

drifts over Santa Fe, NM
