Barrel cactus in northwest Tucson with a shiny, almost candy red hue. Makes me think of sports cars and scandalously delicious lollipops.

I find that my ability to enjoy the natural world around me comes and goes with the stress of daily living. Is it a worth while goal to improve the value of simply seeing the world again?

Phainopeplas (Passeriformes: Ptiliogonatidae: Phainopepla nitens) are common in hot areas of the American southwest and Mexico. They eat insects and fruit, but their favorite food is desert mistletoe (Santalaceae: Phoradendron californicum). Joshua Tree National Park, California, 09 Apr 2018.

I enjoy walking with my dog as she reminds me it's okay to be curious about things we already know. Watching the quail run around, listening to the wind under the bridge, sitting in the sunlight.

For a number of years I had an april fool gag set up on twitter, where I scheduled a tweet for april 1st saying "actually I'm still alive". Then, if I was still alive on march 31st I'd make sure to reschedule the tweet for the following year.
