Up close you can see the ripples and bumps on this deer antler.
Rarely seen, the top of the saguaro cactus looks like fluffy cotton balls have been stuck on with very sharp toothpicks in a pleasing geometric pattern. How do the birds land on that?
Very interesting growth patterns are found on the ancient mesquite trees.
The wind appears to have sculpted this wash.
I pulled out our new road atlas for 2013, and retired our dogeared, well marked 2012 atlas!
We were within the borders of 28 different states throughout 2012!
We see new things almost every time we take a walk! This small saguaro was a meal for someone! How they got past the thorns we don’t know, but the flesh was firm, similar to a zucchini that has been cut and dried out a little.
The saguaro was knocked down somehow, or fell over.
The thorns were piled nearby, next to evidence left by rabbits.
I was washing lettuce at the sink and saw this Canada goose walk by, heading south!
Goose stepping?
Robert came up the road from a walk and the goose took off, flying north!
2 steps forward, one flight back! Is he/she mixed up?
The structure of this decomposing saguaro shows it’s internal strength.
