One morning this past week was spectacular because of the sun and clouds. Here are a few views I enjoyed, plus a mule deer in a neighbor’s yard and quail in my backyard. Enjoy!

Have a great week. Are you cooking for Thanksgiving or visiting friends?

Morning views from the neighborhood

It takes a trip out of state to an entirely different environment for me to appreciate the beauty of my desert. I get used to it and lose some appreciation, but a trip away wakes up my senses. As I walked this morning around our neighborhood I was struck by the views of cactus, mountains and shrubbery. I like it out here. I’d like to see more some wildlife, too.

The mountain to the north. I think it’s called Black Mountain. I’m working on learning the names.

Clouds. We should have an amazing sunset tonight.

One of the things I love best about our neighborhood is all the open natural space.

What are some of the things you like best about where you live?
