phoenix area specialists: Motivational Monday...Can You Hear the Silence? - 10/04/10 07:03 AM

The desert has a sense of beauty that is unforeseen...most of us think of the desert as just sand, a few tumble weeds, cacti, maybe even a few scorpions out and about!  But I have to say when you can capture the true beauty of the desert it is beyond amazing, it is peaceful...Happy Monday!  I hope that your Monday is as Motivational as our Monday's photo!  :)
