While I love the four seasons we enjoy in the Midwest, I am always in awe of God’s creation whenever I travel to other parts of our beautiful country. Some would think that the dry desert is barren and boring, but I totally disagree!

I am in Arizona this week, and even though I left my camera at home, these shots with my iPhone will give you a glimpse of this beautiful land:
