    It smells so sweet.. I sometimes forget how sweet the desert smells while it’s wet. The clouds were weaving their way through the mountains so I came out here to catch it before the sun went down.. This is a wonderful day .. I’m soaking wet and it’s dark and the rocks are slippery and the rain keeps coming down faster and faster .. But I love it .. And I know the pictures won’t come out but I know this is where I need to be .. It’s raining and completely dark .. And I’m in the middle of the desert ~ Today, the world smells alive and real.

    Today was another beautiful day. I tried to be outside as much as possible .. as usual, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I felt obligated to be outside enjoying the wonderful day .. but I just wanted to go inside and close the shutters and sleep all day ..

    When the sun started going down, I decided to take some pictures of it ..

    This picture was taken in the parking lot of the mall .. I wasn’t buying anything, I just wanted to get high enough to see the mountains ..

    Then I drove out a little further past the mall .. out to this contstruction site. I drove out on some dirt road and I could see the mountains in the distance.

    I am now extremely happy to know that I can get to a wide open space in about three minutes. For a while there, I was feeling like the city had stretched so far I could never find a wide open space ..

    Which is ridiculous .. considering this is the desert. Isn’t that what the desert is? Wide open spaces and fire red sunsets?

    This is that same mountain I mentioned before .. that one where the wild horses are supposed to be roaming free. It looks like they’re getting a little bit of rain.

    Then, the sun went down completely. So I went home.
