Short exploration hike in the Sandia foothills of Albuquerque this morning #Threeleafsumac #winterfat #DesertMarigold #nativebees #SandiaFoothills #Albuquerque #NewMexico

The news isn't good, as usual. Hard times are going to get harder. It's okay to take a break from it all. Walk outside. Let this planet do what it does best - nourish you physically and mentally.

A hand holding a brown rock. The rock has a section that is dull black.

Interesting rock I found in the Sandia Foothills. Not sure what the black inclusion is other than that the photograph doesn't really capture how shiny it is.
