Out the Car Window .:. Corner View

I have always loved a road trip. Perfect snacks, perfect tunes, perfect company and the time just flows by like water, like a happy creek. I took these photos from the car window on a trip to the High Sierras this summer, and at 10,000 feet, there is not much more than this for greenery, or scenery. Being able to see that far almost always makes me feel like I have space to relax and breathe more deeply. 

Can't you just smell the scent of sage on the hot dry air?

See how the foreground looks like it's in motion too, while the background is just standing still, watching. It makes me remember road trips when I was a kid, with the whole family in a station wagon and the world just flowed by while I looked out the window. One of my brothers pointed out that if you laid your head back on the seat, the trees looked like they were spinning too, keeping time with our wheels.

But this landscape didn't offer any trees tall enough to spin, just sweet fat high desert ones that hunkered down on the ground, all cozy with the sage and the tumbleweeds.

the blue skies are great. I really like your second picture - the purple and the yellow wanting to be noticed.

I love your blue posts! And I love hot, dry air. I presume that sage is not our Mediterranean culinary herb ...?!
