.: The Beauty That Surrounds Us

Ok, so awhile back after visiting upstate New York and seeing the beauty in the trees, the lush landscape, the farms and so much more, I fell in love. Although after talking to people there I realized they did not view it the same as I did. I was a pair of fresh eyes in a place I had never seen.
I then started to wonder. Living in Arizona I often started to think of it as just desert, hot, dusty and dirt. I wondered what others thought. After asking some other people who had only been here for a short time I began to look at the state I call home a new way. We have beautiful mountains and the fact that we don't have the mass amount of trees leads to a very open and blue sky feeling. And the sunsets, the sunsets we have are amazing. I have started taking images of our sunsets a couple times a week for the last month.
Well tonight I was inside cooking when my dear husband started rapping on the window telling me I better grab my camera and get outside quick. (The sunsets do pass quickly at times) I went outside to find the most amazing sky before me. The sky looked like colorful ocean waves to me that swept across the whole sky.
I quickly started taking pictures before I realized the image was missing something..someone. My husband quickly helped my son up onto our roof so I could capture him among the beautiful sky.
Well he wasn't too fond of being up there at the moment so I wasn't able to capture him standing but I still think it came out pretty neat. Now though he keeps wanting to go back up (of course after the skies color had passed)

So a bit of a lesson here. Stop take a look around you and your surroundings, take time to find the beauty that surrounds you.
