Petey may be turning his skin into a field guide. A Peteyson Field Guide?! Oh dear.
Curve billed thrashers, zone tailed hawks and box turtles too, Oh wilderness were paradise enow.
The photos are mine and of a fruity canyon hackberry (Celtis reticulata), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium!), blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis!!) and the “rustyish” seed...
Petey wonders what new roads and paths will reveal to him in the coming year and remembers a very good road.
I love desert honeysuckle (Anisacanthus thurberi). It’s a favorite plant and I think that’s because of seeing it growing and flowering in that arroyo...
