A desert ridge with the sun shining on it. The moon floats above it, looking tiny and far away but at a different angle than the first photo. The word "finish" is in the lower left corner of the photo.

A small barrel cactus with the rising sun peeking through the spines at the top.

No flowers today but we did see the moon!

Black seeds nestled in open seed pods with long spikes on the outside.

More open seed pods with long spikes. These are empty.

Rising sun behind a short, scraggly desert tree.

Barrel cactus with red spines and a crown of yellow flower buds.

Pushed myself out the door early this morning for a hike.

The weird spiky seed pods have opened up to disperse their seeds, for those who were curious about the plants.

The Mojave Desert.

A nice view over to Clark Mountain and The Mountain Pass rare earth mine in California is operated by MP Materials, which the U.S. government holds about a 15 percent stake. The Spring Mountains in the distance.

A phone photo of a small, clear pool of water at the base of smooth, orange sandstone cliffs. The water creates a mirror-like reflection of the rugged rock walls and a bright blue sky filled with scattered white clouds. Small stones are visible through the shallow water at the bottom of the frame.

​A draw led to a pool, two feet deep and perfectly still. I looked beyond but wouldn't wade. Though I'll never know what the canyon held further up, it's alright. Clear, warm, and silent—the water was enough. I didn't need more.
