Purple Mountain Majesty

So often I find my self wanting to live somewhere that's more green, and has more rain, 

somewhere I can garden and grow hydrangeas.

That somewhere is NOT here in Nevada where I live. 

I grew up in the Las Vegas Valley.

When people hear "Las Vegas" it's the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip that they think of, 

probably just like when I hear New York, I think of 42nd street and Times Square. 

But, the glitz and glamour is not what I "see" everyday.

I see this.

Just when I start to feel sad that I can't grow hydrangeas, or I haven't seen rain in months, 

God shows me some of the most beautiful colors that surround me everyday. 

While I STILL hope to live near the water someday, where it's green.

I will try to "see" the beauty that surrounds me now.

"Home" in the Desert

I really dislike when people think they can just dump their unwanted things in the desert. 

But, for the sake of photography, 

I kind of liked this shot as a representation of 

me, living in the desert of Las Vegas, Nevada.

After all, this is my home, it's all I've ever known, and I will try to "see" and share the beauty of it when I can. 

Hope you enjoyed my photos.

Thank you for your visits and comments! 

I have a couple of days off, and I look forward to visiting you to see what's been going on in your neck of the woods. 

Ciao, 

Becca
