Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I think that you've gotten the idea that the last month or so has been pretty crazy for us. It's definitely been a big adjustment coming down to Arizona. Anyway, on to the post.
I've always enjoyed star gazing. One of my favorite parts of camping is looking up at the stars, either sitting around a campfire or just laying on the ground. Usually, I could only get a good view at the stars a few times a year, because the city lights were so good at drowning them out. In Tucson, there are observatories not far outside the city. Because of these observatories, there are regulations controlling the location and intensity of streetlights and even porch lights. As a result, the stars are remarkably bright for being in a city. From time to time, I still just have to pause and stare at the stars. I am caught off guard by their beauty and brilliance.

For me, nothing can make me think of the big picture of life better than the stars. Sometimes, it's good to be reminded that there is more to the universe than our daily grind.
Wow, gorgeous capture!
