Ray and I enjoy. . . .
getting out and about the area around us, here in our southwest Utah home. He, to look around to "find
interesting stuff". Me, I need get to know more about flora, fauna, wildlife and weather, and the ground my feet find the way on.
Part of the wildlife in my interest is, flowers. Only thinking of the desert as a hot, dry lifeless dirt, I came to appreciate a change in my outlook, as I discovered , thru the course of spring and summer, a number of easy to find wildflowers, as well as a certain low growing cactus found by stepping on its sharp thorns! But it is this very cactus that grows one of the most beautiful flowers I have seen ! It is also this very flower, that greets desert tortoises that have come out of hibernation, and looking for a tasty meal! I was told that the flower food marks the lucky tortoise, as it leaves the lips outlined in a bright fuschia pink!!
I will be trying again this, my second spring season; to see the flowers as before, but hoping mostly to see the pink lipped tortoises!
Thanking the Lord for them , as I do for you dear reader, and look for ward to the time ahead to the eternally blooming lands!
