Hey, those are some nice pictures. You should take more.

The Tri-Cities, for all its numerous faults, does have its photogenic aspects. Especially those sunsets.

I'm one of the few people around who seems to find beauty in the desert - which probably explains why I moved over 1200 miles only to find myself in a place that, if you removed all of the people and asphalt and plopped a huge river down in the middle of it, would look almost identical to Kennewick.

Yeah, there certainly are some very beautiful aspects of the desert. You have to look for them, which is probably why so many people over look them. They don't take the time to stop and see what's around them. The sunsets and sunrises here are amazing. The array of colors in uncomparable. I showed my friend in Japan the sunset picture and she was astounded. Sunrises and sunsets are a big deal over there. *laughs*

I think mornings are my favorite time around here. I get up between 5-6am so I get to see the world wake up. Often, I'll go sit outside and just watch nature go on around me. It's truely beautiful.

Then I go to work and whine about the heat....*laughs*
