just my favorites

a few of my favorite bits from the larger desert assemblage. that crazy corkscrew bit is the fruit of the mesquite tree. and the gray bit to the left of it is an ocotillo cactus skeleton. such incredible specimens i’d never find here in the north. any desert natives know what that green-leafed plant is with the seeds that look like eucalyptus?  i feel like a kid with a new toy. what a delight it was to walk around a new place with eyes wide open.
