A Field of Yellow Flowers

Well, coming into Flagstaff,AZ I spotted this big field of yellow daisies.My plan was to stop & take a picture of it on the way back to the Canyon.But due to circumstance beyond my control, I didn't get to take the picture before the sun set. As most people know who live here at the canyon seem to "know" that when you go to Flagstaff you usually spend the whole day there running errands. I think maybe the errands just take longer than we think! I am hoping that this field of yellow daisies will still be blooming when I go south again to Flagstaff. It was really wonderful to see.

As I took this picture, there was a slight breeze gentling moving the flowers slowly to and fro.

Kinda like a rocking chair slowly rocking on the front porch.I miss not having a porch to sit out on in the evenings to feel the breeze on your face, to get stop for a few minutes and relax,just enjoying what Mother Nature has to show us.

Mother Nature the past few nights has giving us a light show! The storms have been really something ! Lightning & Thunder right on top of the Canyon. Had it not be so dark out I may have tried to get a few pictures of the storm. But the storms were so close this time, I figure if you can feel the crackle of lightning & the hair on your arms stand up, that is too close for comfort for me.This is really when I miss that porch to sit & watch a storm. I used to just that living in New York.

I am heading back to New York in September for a week vacation , My son, Brian is getting married! I will be out there for 6 days! Then back to the Canyon for fall.

I do love being out west, it seems to fit me. I just love the landscapes here, you can drive 30 minutes and be in the desert or high on a mesa.

next weekend I am off to the big sky around Sedonna, I will be flying high above the vortexes in a hot air balloon! I am sure it will be an adventure. I will be sure to post a few pictures once I get back.

I am now off to get some hiking in, before Mother Nature has time to work up a storm.
