A few miles outside of Arizona lies this park which a friend recommended to me for spring flowers... This was my main destination for the day and I took out my tripod... I had been sick for a few days so it was great time for a walk....
Intense colors....
 Never thought Arizona could be so beautiful in the spring time and so green....
 Great day for this type of photography - grey, muted skies...

And a perfect day it was.... I drove 700 miles from Phoenix to get this view again - it was totally worth it... Very dramatic day after rain in the desert....
I have several huge 100x70cm prints of the photos from that day in my apartment....
 Passing some sand hill in the distance...
 The sand patterns here are amazing....

It had been raining before that... The dark rainclouds and some rays of sunshine coming through created this atmosphere....

As the sun started to set, I sat down in the warm sun and enjoyed the silence....
 White Sands looked like a painting when I said goodbye to it... Originally I was going to stay two days, but after that perfect afternoon, I thought I'd leave the memories as they were - perfect....
