The art of Mother Earth
The art of Mother Earth – Artsy Fartsy Tuesday
There is no greater artist than nature, and the art of Mother Earth. Every day I marvel at the perfect shapes, colors, and textures that are found only in nature. People try to capture that same beauty through art of all kinds. It’s never quite as good in my opinion. I am a collector of sunrises and sunsets. The colors are like nothing else in the world. And because they are so fleeting, I collect them with my camera. Trying to keep that color, and the moment alive so I can relive, or share it. Being in the desert is perfect for collecting my art, almost everyday begins and ends with beauty. Sunrise is an awesome time. The world is quite, the air is fresh, and I love to just sit and absorb the morning light.
These photos were all taken at sunrise on different days this past month.

I hope you enjoyed my Mother Earth art collection. I am always adding to it, so I’m sure I will have more photos to share before we leave the desert.
I could not possibly decide on a favorite, but how about you, do you have a favorite photo from this collection?
They are all fabulous. Mother nature at its’ best. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! GORGEOUS!!!
Amazing! Some of them look like volcanic lava!
What a beautiful series of photos!
Thanks Mary for capturing this intense beauty of Nature for us. Have you ever seen the Northern lights? I did on a walk one morning and it scared me as I didn’t know what it was. A big flash of color in the sky! Then I realized what I saw and was overwhelmed.
Just breathtaking photos! Our favorites are the firery ones like on Jan 2013! Love Dolly
I love the richness of the colors in the first Jan 30th photo but of course, each photo is beautiful in its own way. Your photos have really captured the magic of a sunrise.

I’m generally not one for catching sunrise, but I love watching sunset. Ours generally aren’t that spectacular though. You are very lucky to be surrounded by that natural beauty.
BTW, whenever I question if pink and orange go together, I think about sunsets. :-)
Each one has its own beauty! No need to pick a favorite!
Love it, Mother nature is being cruel to us and a lot of our buddies at the moment.. Hope she see’s this BOL ..BEAUTIFUL xxooxxxx
Simply stunning!

Those are beautiful. I am jealous and as beautiful as your pictures are, I bet they were breathtaking in person. :)
Those shots are breathtaking!
Thanks so much for sharing and giving much a wonderful start to my day!
Fantastic photos. They just looks like fire.
Of course, they are all gorgeous but I love the clouds in the 1-19 photo….they are so unique. The clouds are really what make them so spectacular, aren’t they? I love the outdoors and nature, and need to spend more time watching the sun rise.
Wow – awesome shots! I think the sunrises have the sunsets beat, just because the clouds are more interesting in the ones you’ve captured.
I’m rarely (willingly) up for the sunrise, so it’s particularly enjoyable when I get to catch one!
Just wonderful , mother Earth is amazing :)
