Summertime in the Mojave

It's been a hard week. Triple digits didn't help any; and for 2 of those days I thought I had a fever. I feel like the worst of it has passed and I got to work on crafts today and move some boxes so I don't feel so claustrophobic in here. I've been thinking of all my passions and dreams and wondering where they all went.

I am happiest when the sun goes down.  In fact last night I sat in a camping chair way out back and fell fast asleep with the cool breeze caressing my face. When I woke up I was a little scared. I still have an irrational or rational fear that I'll wake up to find my foot in a coyote's mouth.

As I walked back to the house, I saw a huge shooting star so close to the ground and burning bright green. I wasn't even looking up at the time, but the light was so bright, I looked up to see what it was.

Pink Cactus Flowers

Sunflowers that grew all by themselves.

Sunrise in the Mojave

Sunset in the Mojave

No matter how bad the day went, my spirit is uplifted by nature. In this case nature's gift was an amazing sunset and a pink sun. Maybe sunset photos are cliche and  people are tired of seeing them, but I like to think of each sunset as one of a kind, and if you blink you will miss it.

Day in the Desert

The sun is setting in the desert after a beautiful warm day. I went for a hike up the hill. I explored an abandoned house, saw a new kind of beetle, wove my way around opuntias and chollas, and took new photos for my photography business. A relaxing sort of day.
