Another Miraval Monday

Hopefully you aren’t sick of my Miraval Resort photos yet. With sunrise shots like this, you can see why I am ready to head back.



I was fortunate in the time of year I visited as the temperatures and rainfall were just right to give the desert a bit of green as well as a generous sprinkling of color from the recently bloomed flowers.



On the property it wasn’t too hard to have an encounter with the wildlife, including this roadrunner:



…and Phyllis Diller, this bird’s unofficial nickname:



Sunsets weren’t so bad here, either:

Monday Mindfulness at Miraval

I spent an incredible weekend at the Miraval Resort in Arizona recently. This place is the Disneyland of mindfulness; everything is taken care of for you. You truly have very little to think about, thanks to the fantastic customer service and planning from the staff. While the resort itself was obviously constructed, they did their best to incorporate nature and enough elements that you feel very much at peace. Soothing waterways:



A labyrinth (yes, I walked it…a few times):



A garden on property:



The spa:



An excellent fitness center and pool:



…and a second pool if you just want to lounge around instead of doing laps:



Cairns are strewn throughout the property, made by those who have come here to relax:



Yes, this owl was real. He even seems to enjoy Miraval:

A Rainbow in the Desert

When one thinks of the desert, the immediate images that come to mind are cactus and scorched earth. This time of year though, the desert is a veritable rainbow of color as the wildflowers bloom for all to see. Today’s photos were taken on a recent visit to the incredible Miraval Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona.
