When the weather is good I&#8217;ll hike the famed Ice House Canyon Trail, though I&#8217;ve never made it the full eight miles, not just because the hike is long but also because it&#8217;s a strenuous uphill battle. \u00a0On this particular day I was heading up to the lodge for lunch when I was struck by beautiful yellow flowers covering the mountainside. \u00a0We were blessed with heavy rainfall this past winter, which has brought so much color to our desert landscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3561\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-7.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-7\" width=\"4912\" height=\"7360\" \/><!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3563\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-16.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-16\" width=\"4912\" height=\"7360\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3574\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-67.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-67\" width=\"4730\" height=\"7087\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3573\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-66.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-66\" width=\"3424\" height=\"5130\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3562\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-14.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-14\" width=\"4912\" height=\"7360\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3579\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-101.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-101\" width=\"4912\" height=\"7360\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3580\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-111.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-111\" width=\"7360\" height=\"4912\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3577\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luisa051017_brittni-moten-33.jpg\" alt=\"Luisa051017_Brittni Moten-33\" width=\"4549\" height=\"6816\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Just a few notes about the outfit &#8211;
