So I wasn't having a brain spasm after all.<BR/><BR/>How odd it must feel to be glad you're water-challenged.<BR/><BR/>I've watched much the same process in Florida, and it makes me so sad sometimes. We've lost so much real beauty here.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-49283377742926781022007-04-23T14:02:00.000-04:002007-04-23T14:02:00.000-04:00I'm sure I've mentioned my Phx grandparents at on...I'm sure I've mentioned my Phx grandparents at one time or another. Actually, we did live there when I was a kid and when Phx was a much more splendid, un-LA sort of town; I did 2 years of junior college in Phoenix in the late 40s. Loved the desert then, still do -- but I absolutely hate what prosperity and growth at all costs has done to that huge valley. The city fathers are trying to do the same up here in the mountains -- but we don't have the water and we're way uphill from the Colorado River, source of too much of the west's H2O.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-25146992003116831622007-04-23T08:57:00.000-04:002007-04-23T08:57:00.000-04:00Oh, okay.

So maybe I was just sort of juxtaposing them a bit more in my mind than they were in real life.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-65002101819228227172007-04-23T02:00:00.000-04:002007-04-23T02:00:00.000-04:00It's only a little ways downhill to desert from Pr...It's only a little ways downhill to desert from Prescott.Desert Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656526816699347744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-33845367023648779972007-04-22T19:00:00.000-04:002007-04-22T19:00:00.000-04:00The whole post seemed like one of those serendipit...The whole post seemed like one of those serendipitous events where no matter how hard you try to make it work *your* way, life keeps stepping in and doing things *its* way - and you suddenly realize you might as well give up, and that it came out better *its* way after all.<BR/><BR/>Those pix were just amazing. I'm drooling over your new camera. I take so many shots from moving vehicles. Even if it's just windy and I'm trying to get flower pix, it's hard to get them clear. It seems to me that just holding that camera steady makes the biggest difference in photo quality of all.<BR/><BR/>If I read it right, yours does it for you.<BR/><BR/>Boy oh boy!<BR/><BR/>It may be that the polaroid filter should, at times, be left at home...<BR/><BR/>I tried to upload the photos here, but so far, no go. Sometimes I can stumble around into it, you just need a URL. Right now Blogger seems to be acting bad again. I bet DC could do it in two seconds. Not me!<BR/><BR/>I may have misremembered something - you didn't live in the desert in the past, sometime? Or had family there?khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-51403718876418304792007-04-22T14:59:00.000-04:002007-04-22T14:59:00.000-04:00k, I'm not just over-whelmed by your endorsement, ...k, I'm not just <I>over</I>-whelmed by your endorsement, I'm <I>triple-riveted</I>- whelmed. I really did start out with lemons for that lemonade -- kept going back to those show windows & kept getting pix of ghosts along with the real ghosts. So I decided that this was it, I'd best go ahead & post. The next time, I may have a polaroid filter as suggested by one reader; if so, the ordinary will no doubt be rendered in a slightly more ordinary fashion. But then there's a lot that's special about the everyday if you take a careful look. Again, thanks, k, for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm definitely <I>not</I> in the desert!!! I'm in the mountains among the pines (if we get a little more rain to keep them going.) Maybe I'm in tomorrow's desert.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.com
