I was blown away by the amount of bushes in full bloom everywhere we went. This was along 24th St,near where our condo was located, taken on an early morning walk. HCS!
Phoenix is a town in the middle of the desert fed by rivers and bathes in the sun. The hearty folks there hike in triple digits through thorns and rattlesnakes to take in the vast and wondrous views of the many surrounding peaks. Here a fly fisherman floats the Salt River beneath what they call a cloudy sky, I call it heaven. :)
This is one of many very fine works of art painted on walls and buildings in the Roosevelt District (and others) area of Phoenix, Arizona. I actually like the textured effect given by painting on the concrete block walls. Sorry I do not know the artist, it was a drive around mini-tour of the streets of Phoenix Arizona.
Like the fiery Phoenix rising from the embers of the ash, a kestrel, it's gossamer wings ignited by the morning sun, rises beautifully...triumphantly...into the open sky. A reminder for all...never to be daunted by the circumstances of a fleeting moment.
Rising from the ashes of several fires, the derelict South Parade Pier at Southsea is now being renovated, and hopefully will regain its former glory as a notable pleasure pier on the south coast.

North Road Ellesmere Port.
This area including Vauxhall Motors in the distance used to be RAF Hooton during the war. You can still make out a part of the runway bottom right.
We were hiking on the Quartz Ridge trail that has a series of switchbacks. At each turn there was a view of downtown Phoenix. My sister took the one of me lining up the shot. I like what the low humidity does for my hair - no frizzies!
This gigantic sign way out in East Mesa probably assists many airline pilots to find their directions to the airport! :)
Have a pleasant weekend, everyone...
As some of you might know, Groove organized a photo contest again this year on the occasion of their Doll Carnival. The theme was "new beginning" or Nouvelle Ouverture.

All submissions were presented without any indication of the photographer's name, and Miss Park also did not know the names.
