our evening has started
Lulu is happy on couch
most of the time our air is not fragrant from flowers
cause we don't have moisture in air to carry the scent
but during monsoon season
or winter rains you can smell the orange blossoms in tucson
and of course my favorite the creosite
which is desert plant with spicy perfume

I never heard of a creosite...sounds intriguing...its interesting, to see how so very different species of plants and flowers inhabit such different climates...each climate has its very own plantlife and wildlife, specially adapted to that particular area...

That makes it all so interesting...it would be boring if everything was the same...

It is beautiful here, in the Pacific Northwest, with all its greenery and abundant plantlife...but the desert areas, are equally as beautiful...varieties of cacti, and desert flowers, and just the variety of colors and textures, to the sand and rocks themselves, out on the desert...

As I see it, all of nature is beautiful...even tho the desert is harsh, with its temps and lack of water, still there is abundant plantlife and animal life, suited for that area...
