I like how the sun hits the rocks in the Valley of Fire. That is a perfect quote Terri and one I will remember as they are good words to live by.

I love the Valley of Fire and feel very lucky that when we last visited, it was pretty “empty” too. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Terri!

Thank you, Janis! I’m glad you got to visit VOF. The last time we went in early 2020, we managed to get through the entire park. I’m giggling at “Happy Wordless Wed,”…today while poking around at Ace Hardware (attached to supermarket), I chatted with the manager who was marking down things. I said happy Wild Wednesday thinking of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I don’t think he got it 😉

Good thoughts for WW …. and I especially like the Valley of Fire photo. Surprise – I do Not have a an essay on Empty – but it has been on my list of possibilities for the future. Maybe this winter will be the time to draft it. …. BUT …. I do have one of Spaces for you and your readers. https://beachwalkreflections.wordpress.com/2023/06/10/189-spaces/ 🙂

Thanks, Graham! Good catch! The snow image was for the featured image. Our subdivision is growing with new homes being built, which is fine. I’m glad I caught the land around our property in its empty state when I did.

I don’t believe anything is ever empty, Terri. There is always something there. We may not be able to see it, but it knows our presence. I hope that does not sound too creepy.

I love the Valley of Fire shot…I’m wondering if I’ve been there. I do remember driving through a part of the West that looked like that…somewhere in AZ I think. Maybe. Or Utah. Or…… 🙂

Thanks, Dawn! VOF is about an hour’s drive north of Las Vegas. So much of AZ and Utah look like this with the red rocks.
