Wilderness canal—
somewhere a paddy greening
thirsts for more and more.

    I haven’t been to AZ in decades (1978) – I thought it a bit odd that so many water intensive crops like cotton were grown around PHX back then. Yet, we need the refreshment of water for life itself. Always have to wonder…the red soil is beautiful though!

    Love the lighting on these earthy tones and the sharp “injection” of water is like a touch of visual drama! Beautiful!

    The desert must have its charms, but green isn’t one of them! Green Fields

    wow, that water is still…beatiful.
    About your question: I don’t know about others but I am allowed to have a break! 🙂
    or many breaks 🙂
    Have a good week ahead!
