I finally got a picture of a bunny on my run this morning. It is very hard to see though. It is in the left side of the light. I think you can see the white dot of it's cotton tail. I decided to show you how pretty the desert is in the morning the next picture is of the terrain around our condo and where i run.
It's really pretty isn't it. Another thing about the desert is that inspite of the greenery and beauty of the plants almost all of them are thorny and vicious. This next plant is covered in little green leaves and it has really pretty orange flowers when it is in bloom. But don't let it fool you, it is covered with 1 inch thorns hidden by the leaves. When all the leaves fall off in the dry season it is not so pretty. It is just all thorns.
The next picture is of a tree my mom (Grammy) calls the Dr. Seus Tree. She calls it that because the bark is green and the tree has odd shapes.
The second picture is up close. The thorns on the "Dr. Seus" tree are about 4 inches long. I have decided that all the vegatation has thorns to protect itseld from those animals that would eat it. I have only seen about 2 or three plants that don't have them.
Pretty shrub outside our condo? Not! It is covered with thorns! They are dense and sharp about 1 1/2 inches long.
Strange tree with little pods that look like pottery hanging from it. This one actually doesn't have any thorns. It must be bad to eat or something.
This is a picture of out condo. You can see the deceiving bush by the walk on the left. Everything down here is southwest style of course. The walls are about a foot thick. The bedrooms all have tiny 1 foot square windows towards the top of the rooms. Mom (Grammy) really likes them. She says that if she ever builds another house that she would put those kind of windows in the bedrooms. There is also one large window in each room for a view. I won't be able to run tomorrow. Jeff, Grammy, and I are going to drive to the gulf (about 3 hours) and go to a tourist city in Mexico. It should be fun and safe. He had employees who went there last weekend and said it is a safe place to go. :o)
