Beautiful Desert Skies!

Nature can take your breath away. I was out in the Mojave Desert for a baptism on Sunday evening and was lucky enough to see this beautiful sunset . Although the desert is not my most favorite of climates, it is beautiful in its own way. This is one example. I was so glad that I had my camera, I made my hubby pull over so that I could try to capture a picture of the vibrant color in the sky. There are windmills perched on the surrounding mountain tops and the fire like sky was a stunning backdrop. Somethings are just too pretty for words.

What A Treat!

 Did you know that hummingbirds are considered to be the symbols of peace love and happiness? In native American culture a hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible and will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life experiences. Wow! I had no idea, I just looked that up. I do however, consider myself very lucky to have captured these pictures on the 4th of July.

While enjoying the day with my hubby at the car show we happened to turn around and see this little hummingbird taking a rest on a branch of a tree right behind us! I couldn't believe my eyes. I am fortunate to see them alot on our property but never see them sitting still, resting, and most of all never have I seen one stretch his wing like I caught him doing in the photo. I am in love with this little bird and am wanting to somehow incorporate him in a piece of jewelry hmmm..I just need to figure out how anyway, I thought he was so cute, I wanted to share the pictures. He makes me smile. Nature is amazing.
