I took an early morning hike on the Yetman Trail in the Tucson Mountain Park that started right outside my hotel in Tucson (Star Pass Resort). The Desert was drenched from the previous night's thunderstorm. About 1 1/2 miles from the hotel, I came across the Bowen House, a 1930's stone house built on pristine desert wilderness by an editor for the Arizona Daily Star newspaper (for more, see Bowen House information at bottom). Now I had been here before and was a little impressed with it. However, this day was unlike the others as the clouds were rolling in and the rainwater had littered the floor creating a reflecting pool. As I sat there resting and eating my breakfast, I started to realize that the beauty of the stone house and surrounding landscape was magnified tenfold by the reflection in the water. Time to pull out my camera!
