Some folks come to this fine place called "Arizona" without much knowledge of the beauty
I am always amazed at their shock when they find out we have mountains with...Trees
Pine and Juniper
That we get snow in them there hills!
I am amazed that they do not envision this great land with...Wildflowers
Columbine and Penstimon in all colors
Surprised that we live in a land where Elk and Deer roam our vast land
I am always pleased to change their view
I smile as I see new pictures enter their minds...
Recognition of something familiar they thought so different from their own
I like the curiosity when the thought becomes embedded
Denial still on the surface but, the images still changing the perspective...
The photo is of a Joshua Tree...
Outside the former BIA office in a very tiny stop called "Valentine"
A group of trees over watered in a drought climate...
Became heavy and has fallen over...
By the end of summer it will have lost all will...
But, in it's struggle blooms fill it's fallen branches...
A momentous occasion, a final stand of it's brilliance..
It's strength, in a land of unbelievable beauty

If ya got to have a perspective (and we do don't we?) It might as well be a beautiful one! Our choice....
