Snapshot Saturday - Sunsets never get old

I know another picture of a sunset but Arizona sunsets in the desert never get old to me! Each one carries beauty in it's own way and each one is uniquely different. Even in the heat of the summer (hopefully in about a month things will feel cooler), sunsets here still carry magic with it. Each one continues to stun me with its colors...it's like a rainbow in the sky every evening. Here is a photo that I snapped during a drive that Travis and I took to the desert one summer evening to catch the sunset without all the buildings around.

A Trip to the Mountains

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is take a trip to the mountains for some 
relief from the heat of Phoenix. This summer, we went to Hannagan Meadows near Alpine, Arizona. This is one the most magical spots I think Arizona has to offer. It is green, lush, and just sparkles with beauty! However, last summer it did suffer from one of the largest wild fires Arizona has ever had, the Wallow Fire. Please be very careful with fire in the forests and be sure to always put your camp-fires DEAD out. Damage is still visible as you drive through the mountains, luckily the beauty still sparkles through. Below are some photo's of our trip and I hope you think this place sparkles just as much as I do!
