G is for Glorious


My Theme for the A to Z Challenge: Desert Canyon Living


Glorious moments abound in the canyon, 


from a long view on a winter's day to


a sunrise in spring ,


a brief moment in time when the grass is green and


wildflowers cover fields and hillsides.


Samson's first howl, a glorious sound,


imitating so well the call of the wild.


A simple dinner prepared with love by my husband,


a fire in the wood stove, 


a good book to read, 


as the day draws to a close.

All glorious moments of my life in the canyon.


Henry David Thoreau wrote: 
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."


P.S. A little snow fell here last night; the grass and wildflowers are dusted with snow this morning.

  4. Breath taking pictures and your caption "as the day draws to close" fits right in. You are probably getting the best experiences of life. Also I wish that children could get these experiences while growing up. Wow
