It feels like I'm lying in a wildflower field, looking up at all the amazing posies and fabulous blue sky. *sigh* THANKS!<br /><br />2) it reminds me of John Muir's writings when he walked from the bay area toward and into Yosemite. While heading out of the bay area and into the San Joaquin valley, he slept on the ground and said when he woke up, he identified several species of wildflowers that he'd not yet seen, BEFORE HE SAT UP. =) Waking up with flowers in the face. HEAVEN.<br /><br />3) You have tripped me out re: an ant living 1 month. I feel bad for the ants just alive late summer when it's super hot and almost nothing is in bloom anymore, and they are frantically seeking cool and water. And then also super happy for spring ants when it's warming and colorful. Although I read in a gardening book, fall = time of bounty (seeds, etc.), early spring = time of hunger 'cause there's not much substantive food yet, and you're still skinny from winter. So. Whatever their experience, thanks for that amazing perspective. I love it.<br /><br />4) thought of you yesterday afternoon as I took photographs from a United jet flying over the SW, ogling all those amazing folds and cliffs and swirls and sandy drifts. Obv. I'm 100% not a geologist, but it makes my jaw drop. Glad your area of expertise exists.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.com
