Day 8 Completed!

I made it through an entire week of fulfilling my self challenged 30 walks in 30 days!  I went to one of my fav spots to take photos: Hole in the Rock at Papago Park.  I headed out at 3:30pm because there were clouds in the sky to the west, but by the time I got there, and ready to start snapping, they had dissipated.  But a sunset in the Valley of the Sun never disappoints!!  

Papago Park

Each day just before sunset, this place called Hole in the Rock

(at Papago Park) fills up with people ready to view 

the sunset.  It's a hippy vibe as everyone is there for

the same reason.  As the sun sinks lower in the sky,

once it's dropped to the horizon, everyone claps,

appreciating Mother Nature and all her splendor!

It's joyous!

Just a quick stroll in Papago Park,

I was in the mood to catch the sunset.

I'm Craaaazy ....

had a bit of a bout of cabin fever

today.  Grabbed my camera and

headed out to Papago Park to do

some walking around.

Yep, it's 112, but there was a

breeze and a few clouds for

the sun to hide behind.

With a bottle of water in

one hand, camera in the other, I

braved the heat for an hour or so

taking some photos.  

It sure is easy to say

"Maybe tomorrow .... "

and I've said it often enough.

I knew I needed to get out and

about today.  Sans Sadie, she

doesn't do well in this heat,

even in the car with the AC

full blast.

Break Your Rut

 








Sometimes you have to

break your rut,

switch up your routine

in order to do something

with meaning.




We get so busy

doing our day-to-day

stuffs, that we forget

there's a whole world out there.

Take a minute or two

to appreciate it,

bask in the glory

of a wonderful sunset.
