Show Notes

I love desert ironwood trees….love peering under them to see the plants they’re nursing …love the purple and white flowers and seed pods that follow… never minded the spiny branches tugging at my clothing and sometimes drawing blood… and, love the litter beneath them. The desert ironwood is a beautiful tree…yeah, it is. The photo is mine.
