drinking the rainbow

When we were tabernacling in Prescott there was a speaker who talked about how all our diseases are a result of toxins building up in a specific area in our bodies and if we can get our bodies detoxed and our cells healthy we won't have to deal with disease. One of the ways he encouraged us to clean out our bodies was to juice fruits and vegetables. After returning home Jay researched masticating juicers online and decided to purchase an Hurom. We've been very pleased with the juicer and the juice. I've noticed that I'm not thinking about food during the day, trying to determine what I'm hungry for, as I'm completely satisfied after drinking the juice. As an added benefit when I went to the Rancher's Market they had bananas, Pink Lady Apples, and Bartlett Pears all 3 pounds for a dollar.

camping wear

It was chilly at night camping so we ended up getting Lily a fuzzy shirt at the second hand store. She was a good camper but didn't like it when we left her alone at the campsite so spent a lot of time in the back of the pickup.

morning shadows from the inside of the tent

time flies

I was trying to capture a pretty sunset out the car window while we were moving. I didn't get the photo I was trying for but I thought the blurred effect was very interesting.

candyland

Along with the jeep art I also had to photograph the inside of the candy store....all colors of the rainbow....candy to your sweet tooth's content.

jeep art

When we were in downtown Prescott on Saturday evening we spent a few minutes admiring the jeep/art parked in front of the candy store. The owner was a photographer that lives in the Phoenix area. The jeep was covered from bump to bump with plastic toys. It was quite a conversation piece.

cloudy with a chance of shadows

Cloudy days make for interesting views of the mountain....I headed out first thing in the morning and got one shot off before my batteries went back to bed. By the time I was able to get back out the door with fresh batteries the color was gone but the contrast of light behind the dark mountain was still worthy of a shot.


Mid-day I went out again to capture the shadows the clouds were creating on the mountain.


Mid-afternoon the clouds had disappeared when I realized I had never photographed the mountain in black and white...out we went again (me, the camera, and my faithful assistant, Lily)


I was just a minute or two late to catch the most pink hue when the sun was setting. The color comes and goes quickly.
