Wet and Green
I went out to the desert today .. I was suprised at how green it was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the desert so alive. All these little green plants slowly soaking in the water.
I used to come out to this spot while we were creating Kingdom to relax.. I remember everything being brown. Some day, when I’m somewhere else, this is how I want to remember the desert.
A cool, light breeze – Standing out in the middle of it all waiting for the sun to appear through the clouds.

David, thank-you so much for taking your pictures, and for writing about being outside. I am feeling a little cooped up right now studying for my exam week, but I know that I can click on your site when I’m sitting at the computer & feeling weary of work – and those images always refresh my mind.
Everyone says how unusual it is that we are getting so much rain, but since I’ve never been here this time of year before, I don’t know what to expect… and I love the rain.
I am so looking forward to my school’s ‘spring break’ – then I can also traipse around exploring… I know there must be so many ‘hidden’ places that we drive by every day, and other places waiting that are well-worth a road trip.

Yeah it’s crazy how close we are to this strange expanse of desert. We’re in the middle of it! And whenever I’m out there, outside of the city, I can’t remember ever seeing another person. Maybe it’s because the desert is so huge, there are enough places for each seeker to be alone .. Or maybe it’s just because everyone’s inside!
Today is another beautiful day, but I’ll be inside working on a project for work in the dark on the computer.. maybe we should switch – You should take today off and let me know what it’s like out there..
