    I bow mine as well. Here it is 2F, wind whipping, sun lighting icicles like candles outside my bedroom window.

    My favorite golden bloom of spring. Looking forward to the desert floor covered in golden Palo Verde dust. Thank you.

    You have introduced me to so much beauty from the desert, which I previously thought had none. I should have known better. Love this!

      It’s not always easy to see, but if you have the eyes of an artist (which you do), and if you move slowly, you will see beauty in unexpected places.
