Today’s weather report:
Purple rain with an accumulation of desert verbena.
You decide. Sun? Rain? Clouds?
The essence of majesty tiptoes with proof that the best things in life are free.
Sunset. There is a contemplative moment at dusk when we think it is done, and in truth it is preparing for tomorrow.
Wind Kisses, Donna
We are on our annual trip to Moab, Utah
Photos: Monument Valley, Goosenecks Park, and Mexican Hat

WE were lucky with the clouds. To think we could camp on this ledge was dream. Sunrise and sunset, and the Milky Way. I am not so great at capturing the night sky.
