Spring Bloom in Saguaro National Park

I was enthralled with a visit to Saguaro National Park in the spring. I had never seen the desert before and the flowers were breath-taking. I felt very lucky to bear witness.

“Snapping Turtle,” “Terrestrial Stage of the Red-Spotted Newt,” and “Our Anniversary Before Surgery”

I float in the pond
on my blue mat,
splash away deer flies,
close my eyes in the baking sun.
The mat deflates, I am
half in the water, legs and head
cradled on the remaining air.
