Desert junk

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
 


Even the shadows
enshrouding desert debris
are singing for joy.

    Oh, me! Oh, my! This has all the things that I love! A rusted, aged and textured surface that has so many stories to tell! I’m singing too!

    Really interesting how the rust colored whatever it was echoes the colors of the desert so beautifully. You have such a great eye!

    What a mysterious form in the desert. But it is very pretty decay. And the singing joy of the shadows is a nice mentor for this picture.

    hmm…what do you suppose it was? Nevertheless, even in the process of wasting away, it is quite strikingly beautiful.
