When we traveled in Alaska in early spring we learned that willows are one of the things that bud out first. Well, that makes sense as that is true at home in Ohio, too. See the willow buds in this vista foreground?


Bob loved the spires

Cave like formation from distance. Valley beyond Spires, pines, red rock, snow

I called these cantaloupe rocks. Sandia Mountain in Albuquerque means watermelon. These are just lovely ripe cantaloupe!
Face on the left Here’s looking’ at you!

5:45 PM and still almost 2 hours to the motel. Time to get a move on, amazed tourists!
God created such amazing things and we felt privileged to have seen them with our own eyes. What a day!
“We acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty
Book of Common Prayer
works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your
own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in
obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all
your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you,
you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy
you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find
you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you,
and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation.
Wow–your images are spectacular, Molly. What an amazing place to visit.
