Southwest beauty


I went to New Mexico to rest and meditate. I had no idea I would be relaxing while also having my vision shocked by such vibrant hues and textures. Each day was a lesson in color. My east coast palette was challenged by unending earth tones and a new shade of gold I found in the sun. Even the sky seemed different.

The change in scenery did me good... meditating while inspired makes for a very productive trip. I couldn't have asked for a better place to be, or to see.

Just wanted to let you know that your posts are being copied on this site- http://desertroseplant.info/category/garden-landscape/

I found it under the garden-landscape label. I'm warning everyone I can. Someone warned me as mine are on there too. They do include a link at the end of the post 'go to source', but it never states that it is not their work anywhere and they have adsense everywhere.

Just giving you a heads up! You don't have to publish this comment and it might give them a heads up if you do- although, I have sent them an email through their contact form to stop taking my content- we'll see what happens.
