Wood eaten in patterns

The insects that chomped through that tree seem to have had an affinity for Celtic design. Or maybe they were talking to us in their language, telling us tales and revealing the hidden nature of the universe. That’s the answer if only we could read it.
Or maybe I just need to spend less time wandering [...]

Not dead yet!

The turkey vulture circled me and wondered if I was dead. I thought this odd because I was clearly tap dancing on the edge of a rock outcropping and if there’s one thing I know about the dead is that they never tap dance.

Tail of the dragon

A few weeks ago I was hiking to Baboquivari Peak and looked up at the clouds. The first thought I had was, “That looks just like a dragon.”
It spanned the sky with the tail pictured above the peak. I didn’t get a good set of photos to stitch the giant cloud dragon together. But if [...]

Orange flowers into the distance

Sometimes orange flowers like to gather and say, “Ooooooo…look at us. We’re orange flowers and we’re so freakin’ cheerful! Come play!” Sometimes they even do it in near Santa Fe which is odd when you think about it.
