Love Letters~2

Thursday was our second trip to the desert area around Dromedary Peak to work on the Love Letters geo-art. Again, the photos of the desert flora and fauna are from my phone, so not necessarily a quality of which I am very proud.

our landmark

we followed some of the cows

this looked like a very fresh bite

the prize sighting of the day

a Great Horned Owl in her nest

see her peaking around the arm?

we didn't dare get too close and scare her off

another saguaro with a nest

but I think it was empty

from a distance this plant looked like a dandelion

but when I got closer, it really is a wild flower

narrow, long leaves

white, silvery petals

this saguaro scar looked like a grumpy face

sort-of-like mine after 3 hours of walking in the desert heat

Thursday's accomplishment
