I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but I am constantly amazed by the desert. One of the more amazing things, to me, is how fertile the desert can be if there is water. Our city is the Lettuce Capital of the world. Isn't that crazy? It is such a contrast to see the beautiful, neat rows of the fields against the backdrop of our desert mountains. All winter, the fields are filled with vegetables. I've wanted to photograph them ever since we moved here, and I finally took the time to do it. One evening, I packed everybody into the van and just drove around looking for fields being harvested. The kids patiently sat in the van, listening to Odyssey, while I snapped pictures. The next day when we got in the van, Braden asked, "Mom, are we going somewhere, or just driving around again?" Some day he will appreciate looking at these pictures; they will remind him of a place that was his home for a while.

What a great contrast picture of the dry unplanted and unwatered desert and the beautiful plants in the background. You are so right about the amazing fertility of that ground when water is put into it.
This is another way God shows us his wonderful abundant creation and provision.
