Desert Beauty

I have realized something about beauty.  It is versatile and diverse.  It is also subjective.  When I first moved to the desert, I expected to be surrounded by nothing, to live in sand and certainly never expected to be taking pictures almost every day of the beauty in the desert. 
 
The thing about scenery, is that changing your outlook in just one small aspect changes how you see the whole scene.  For instance, I have come to realize that cities can be beautiful!  Sky scrapers, cranes, harbors, busy streets, they can be beautiful. 
I am partial to farmland and mountains...and when I moved to the desert, I had the preconceived notion that I was definitely not going to enjoy the desert.  
Check out just a few of the many pictures I have taken lately in the desert however.  My opinion has changed. 
 
 






 
If those aren't beauty, than I do not know what is!
Beauty is all around us and the beauty of nature just shows me how powerful God is- that He made something so vast and glorious.  It also shows me how loving God is- that He made something that He wants us to enjoy.
"Nature always wears the color of the spirit."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
