WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT - More Desert Discoveries

The dromedary gently bent her massive head over me

and batted her  eyelashes like a model in a mascara commercial.



I might have been intimidated by the great beast,

 but George Stone, { her human }, assured,



“ I've had Matilda since she was ten pounds. 

That first night she drank several gallons of milk.”

Stroking her beautiful face and 

gazing into her enormous eyes 

was  electrifying.



 What a joy it must be to ride her,

but that would have been asking too much. 



Matilda and George

were taking their Sunday stroll at 

White Sands National Monument 

adding their own personal mystique to 

The Land of Enchantment.

WHIITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT - click to enlarge pic

This little known natural wonder
 
lies just east of 

Las Cruces, New Mexico, 

neighboring our government’s 

White Sands Missile Range.  


Pure white gypsum sand 

covers  275 square miles 

and visitors can enjoy it 

free of charge !




It  all  brings  to  mind  the world’s  greatest  intellectual,

Jesus, 

{ who  wandered the wildreness for forty days and nights }

and his infamous quote,

“Peace  I  leave  with  you,

My  peace  I  give  unto  you:

Not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.

Let  your  heart  not  be  troubled, 

neither  let  it  be  afraid.” 

John 14:27

Sounds good to me.

How ‘bout you ?
