Week 19

I live in the large metropolitian area of Phoenix but interspersed between the busy streets and neighborhoods you will find glimpses of the agricultural life that use to thrive here.  I drive past this field daily on my way home (it is in between neighborhoods and a gas station and large power station) and I finally got the nerve to pull over and take a shot of the field during the golden hour.  I love how it turned out, i've always wanted to capture a picture like it. 

I feel the beauty is in its simplicity.

Week 16

Week 15

This past week I was in Las Vegas for a nursing conference, Slice of NTI.  Vegas is not my favorite place to go...I just dont dig the all you can eat, drink, play, sex vibe.  I think I would have enjoyed the conference more if it had been somewhere more beautiful like California!  Anyhoo, I thought the two above pictures captured the beauty (even if artificial) that Vegas does offer.  The ceiling in one of the entrances of the Forum Shops at Caesers Palace is pretty striking and the crystal chandeliers all over the Paris Casino were gorgeous.  I took so many picture of them but this one is my favorite because it is from a different perspective!

Week 14

This was taken on Good Friday at our church, Emmaus Road.  We walked through the Fourteen Scriptural Stations of the Cross.  It was a very connecting time with Jesus and understanding where he came from.  The whole experience was peaceful and insightful.
