Along the Way

Puffy cloud hats adorn ancient hills. Tall cacti lift appendages upward, salute the sky. Muted colors . . .

. . . straw, sage, gray hug rugged hillsides. . .

. . . dry, stark, harsh. Rushing to meet the horizon panoramic vistas unfold. Breathtaking expansiveness. Hawk hitchhikes on the thermals. Sky hangs low overhead.
