Blurry... or is it?

Some days can be blurry ...my camera agrees.

I took my dog for a romp into the canyon this morning.
The creeks were running from the rains...
not sure of the terrain before them.
The forest: cool, lush, and fragrant. 

Trickling water
Tranquil and Serene
Hypnotic
Refreshing
The re-newer of life

...when you live in the desert.

Tiny purple butterflies danced above a babbling brook
as if they were auditioning for the movie
Fantasia. 
...and as if on cue from an invisible conductor,
they all disappeared in one motion,
only to open their wings again in complete unison 
as the music of the brook regained its rhythm.



As we climbed up out of the coolness of the canyon's floor,
Love marked my trail
to show me the way home...



But my great protector of beetles and bears
couldn't keep her eyes open for the drive back.
