Show Notes

I loved sitting in that grassland and warming up with a rising sun. Is there anything better than sitting quietly and watching the natural world around you? I’m pretty sure this can be done in a back yard or a park or maybe a little farther out in the desert or nearby hills. And hey, you don’t need to be hunting and gathering. With frozen fingers I was able to take the photo of wooly bunchgrass (Elionurus barbiculmis) on the morning described in this episode.
