From the base of the Organ Mountains, the Town of Las Cruces, New Mexico sprawls to the West like a suburb at the Horizon. It's a rare sight to catch the desert in Bloom. It only lasts a few days when it does happen. Tiny Yellow Poppies with orange centers open all at once. The chilled Desert Air becomes heavy with perfume
and my Soul is gladdened that Winter has finally Died.

The Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York Neighborhood is several hundred years old. Brownstone, Walk Up Buildings are currently valued at a small fortune, even tho they appear to have seen better days. Can you spot the sterling silver bracelet hanging on a picket here ? My guess is it was found nearby and placed with hopes the owner would recover it. Brooklyn's Bullish on Funky Street Art.

THANK YOU ! I don't know . . . this could very well be LOVE ! ! ! It all began on the beach one early morning at sunrise . The evening before had the usual spectacular sunset . . .

Arches and Gaslights everywhere . Enveloped by that feeling of Coming Home . . . Yes . . . This is definitely LOVE ! ! ! ! ! ! SPLASH ! ! !
Everyone loves the smell of crisp autumn New York State air when the clematis vine blooms and the asters glow in the afternoon sun. But, an Autumn Flowering Desert is something special to behold. It doesn't happen every year. The conditions have to be just right or September and October can be a burnt out dusty mess. Unexpected rain made some growers very happy and others sobbed over the blossom end rot it caused on pomegranates, melons and the like. For now . . . the Rio Grande River is no longer a minor trickle. Rarely seen Passion Vines are boasting magnificent flowers bigger than pink Spalding Balls, happily embedded with bees, requiring a great deal of patience to have a photo without them crammed in massive clusters. Enjoy the following slideshow with God blessed eyes. I'll be happy to read your comments, if you're moved to do so, which remain as anonymous as you choose. Thank you ! " IT ISN'T EASY BEING GREEN. " Kermit the Frog So . . . don't be ! Embrace all the colours. COLOUR IS EXCITING !
