You've got some wonderful photos, Joan. Such beauty in a place which, at first glance, appears so desolate! I especially liked your tree and shadows photo and your duck in the rushes, but they all invited me in to this dry land on the verge of spring.
ReplyDeleteShould have stuck around a bit longer, Mom. The wildflowers are unbelievable...Sweetwater Preserve is a blanket of purple and yellow and white!
ReplyDeleteYour granddog is very cute and the picture of the duck is extraordinary. It just draws you in. If this belonged to me, I'd frame it. It's beautiful!
