		<title>Dancing Once Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is with great sadness and regret that I must tell you that Phil passed away on August 26th, 2010.  We want to thank everyone who spent time reading Phil&#8217;s blog.  It meant a great deal to him and I know he enjoyed writing it.  Phil was a kind, thoughtful and warm-hearted man and he will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celestial Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   

  March brought Spring time to the high desert, taking us from winter snow to spring winds. Weather change of the season required the entire month. The snow cover receded slowly, the moisture sinking into the soil. The landscape is slightly green now, especially in the long light at sunset. The high desert is open [...]]]></description>

		<title>February&#8217;s Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   

        February possesses its own style of winter, separate from that of January. This year the month was a series of winter storms, slowly subsiding and warming by month’s end. Snow-pack on the ground is receding, melting away under the warming sun quicker than the recent storms could replace. Now is mud season. February’s winter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
    Just a few days short of mid-winter, and so it has been. Snow on the ground for most of two months, but every day the sun provides a little more heat, setting a little farther north. At this time of year comes a more accepting attitude of the season, fatalistic but not victimized. Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four Dogs Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
 
 
     Winter on the high desert; still an enchanting place, just a different set of conditions. The daylight is too short and the nights too cold. But every day is a little longer than yesterday and the sun rises and sets just a little farther north. The weather of the season brings along its own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pelicans and a Road-runner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   
 

     The beautiful security of the seasonal changes go by, bringing a new but familiar perspective to this enchanted land. The landscape and the sky above appear autumnal, if you have been watching throughout the year. The sun is moving into the southern sky and the shadows grow longer. Autumn seems to bring along quicker, more [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Memory of August</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    

 
     An exceptional month was August, hardly a memory, gone by so quickly. One of those times when I hope I took enough photographs, through the lens and through my eyes, to remember a thousand moments strung together like a necklace of stones, or a string of firecrackers.  A month that began in deep summer and ended precariously [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Beautiful Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    
 
 
    The enchanted land is in the middle of another beautiful summer; different than last just to make the world a little more interesting and unexpected. The summer monsoon began early and is still the weather pattern but rain is sporadic and intermittent. Many days I watch it fall in many places but not on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life, and souvenirs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    
 
 

 
 
 The summer monsoon weather pattern has set up over the southwest, a couple of weeks earlier than the average July 4th arrival. The clouds and storms have created some amazing skies but only scattered and intermittent rain. But enough precipitation has fallen to ‘green up’ the landscape and grow the early wildflowers and cactus blossoms.

		<title>Old Dogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

 
      A few days ago Louie passed on, as all old dogs do. We danced in the early morning sunshine and I laid him to his final rest under an afternoon sky of storms and sun.
     

 
 I found him five years ago in the high mountains of eastern Arizona. I never knew his story or his [...]]]></description>
