Comment on cirsium neomexicanum at sunrise by Steve Jones

Oh, but it was hot this morning! 74° overnight, and 114° down at the garden this afternoon. My heat pump just shut off at 10:30 after running constantly since about 2PM. I’ve been sucking down ice water all day. And there’s one very stretched-out cat laying on the tile floor next to me.

I’m guessing that old Sol peeked above the horizon very soon after that shot.

We have the same bunny nesting phenomina going on outside our kitchen window in Scottsdale, AZ. Mom desert bunny has a buried nest in my new cactus bed! I’m amazed the babies can survive under the dirt like they do.

Thanks for the video, Marianne. I still remember you showing me that when we met at the Preserve (I think it was called that). It was where the animals were and I believe I was actually trying to shoot Lions. Long time ago!

Wow! Reminds me of my mis-spent youth Did I ever tell you of my early Sunday in I think March in what is now probably suburban Scottsdale harvesting rattlers for ASU Prof who was making anti-venom? If not, will subsequently bore you with the tale (not to mention rattler tail!) Love from us, P

Thanks for the clarification on the mistletoe, Steve! That tells me that just pulling off the Mistletoe doesn’t fully get rid of it. I have a couple of trees in my yard that I pull plants from every year. And yes…I had noticed the lack of blooms on the PVs and had recalled that it had happened before. All very, very interesting!

My education continues. Thanks so much!
