Happy Earth Day!!!


Every day is Earth Day in my mind, but since today is officially Earth Day I'm posting some photos of  glorious Mother Earth here in Tucson.

But first, an Apache blessing:


The arms of this saguaro from yesterday's hike seem to be reaching out to cradle us. If we take care of the earth, she will take care of us.


The David Yetman Trail yesterday took us to the remains of a stone house that was built in the 1930s by the city editor of the Arizona Daily Star and his wife. What peaceful views they had.

Signs of spring were all around us as prickly pears and saguaro cactuses burst into bloom.




"Springtime inspires us to believe that, along with the earth, we too might change, release the past, and give birth to new ideas," from Daily OM.

The evening sky pulls a soft comforter over us
and we'll wake to a new beautiful day.


Have a colorful day
