The desert, my old friend. Saguaro cacti, cactus wrens, rocks, tough plants that also come to life in spring or after a rain. I am home now.
Visited Saguaro National Park, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Madera Canyon south of town. It seems hotter than I expected for the last week of October. Perhaps I have been away too long.
I will be in the desert Southwest for the next week or so. That’s just fine with me. In a previous life I must have been a desert hermit.
