Up where the air is clean and clear

Seeking…. Balance.

Picture: Large rock boulder balanced on edge, Joshua Tree National Park, California Last week I posted this image on my Facebook business page. I've mentioned previously that I don't do "art speak" or give my images artsy titles. However, on a few very rare occasions an image will speak to…
