Desert Paradise

I know, it's a mid day shot.. what is up with that?! It's practically a postcard for that matter. But I don't think I could possibly get an image that better captured the beauty of a spring desert oasis. The trick here, was waiting for the clouds to pass over to provide just enough diffusion of the light to create the soft, yet clearly sunny conditions. The clouds just happened to cooperate with me. Thoughts?

 

flickr's compression does nasty things to the rocks, view large, or that large on gray thing, however you link to that..
