Wow, Jen, never know where you're going to turn up, only that you'll definitely have quality photos to view. This is no exception. Gorgeous blossoming trees!
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Who in the world has been voting on this?! Big score from me....great shot. I love the yellow against all of the earthy tones of the whole image. Well done!
I love the look of the golden trees nestled among the brown brush and hillsides and the touch of green. What a great place to lay down a blanket and take a nice warm nap in the sun.
Oh, I have to save this one for sure, but I wouldn't be lying down in it for the rattlers and the scorpions and not to mention the ever present and HUGE paloverde bugs !!!! But if this is South Mountain Park in Phoenix, I do have lovely memories of frying up breakfast early in the morning and drinking mugs of coffe while enjoying the soft return of spring....although I expect it's pretty hot there by now. Beautifully arranged and on my desktop for a long while..thanks for the memories!!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I love the contrasts in this...yellow against the earthy tones!...Nice work
