The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Once the desert gets in your soul, it never leaves
Yeah, once those cactus needles get in ya, it feels like that, too.

ReplyDeleteI dunno folks…been living in it for almost 60 years…pictures are one thing…
ReplyDeleteCoulda been 60 years in a big city.
DeleteLike how quiet the desert is, it is serene.
ReplyDelete----horrid, desolate, dangerous--stay away----
ReplyDeletelived in the high desert for years, then escaped to the mountains. Not going back.
ReplyDeleteI like them both but prefer the mountains. The desert in spring. Awesome.
DeleteNo interest in that.
