NEW: Pic of the Week!

We decided to start a new weekly blog post featuring some of our favorite pictures. We thought it might be interesting to let you learn a little bit about the who, what, where and/or why of these shots. I know there are times I look at a picture and wish I could know more about it and that is where this idea stemmed from.

So without further ado here is our first Pic of the Week!



This photo was taken by John late last month in Maricopa County Arizona. We were there just a few days after some very large storms had hit the area. We discovered a large quantity of mud that was drying and cracking into some interesting patterns. Some of the mud was drying in large flat chunks and others seemed to be curling into small flakes that almost looked like scales. We took many shots and this is just one of our favorites. Textures can be incredibly interesting. Rocks, wood and dry mud can be beautiful reminders of some of nature's most simple wonders. After all, flowers and waterfalls shouldn't get all the glory! Beauty can be found in just about anything, even the mud off the side of a dirt road.
