Here By Glimpses Known

Yesterday, we went out to Wadi Degla for Sprout to do her annual birthday painting.  She wasn't able to paint one on the big day this year because of our trip to the States, so we waited for the right moment to do it here.

I'll do a post about our day another time, otherwise this would not be a glimpse of Egypt but one of our family life.

So, the wadi, our best chance at nature and the outdoors in Cairo's backyard:

Wadi Degla

You can just spy the city in the distance where the two sides of the wadi appear to meet.

How beautiful. I love the contrast between the landscape and the clouds.

We were lucky to have a really nice sky. :)

So, so different from Oklahoma... or Mayotte... or western Massachusetts.

It's a big, big world we live in.

Very big and extremely marvelous.

That looks like my backyard in New Mexico.
