Inspiration Friday - Inspired by the Desert


The desert, though desolate, is awash with vivid colors and breathtaking landscapes. There is much to be inspired by in the beauty of nature, no matter how bleak or remote. 

I searched the web for a variety of images from the desert, and here is a look at a few of my favorite finds:











Such magnificent beauty!
