Quiver tree: Namibia,

The quiver tree is an aloe, a succulent growing in a desert. Indigenous to southern Africa, their branches are hollowed out and ostensibly used to make quivers for arrows. Hence the name. This one along with two companions stood in the middle of a very desolate landscape as we drove towards the coast.

Populist pandering

 If I look at what people click in to see, I notice that you like the beasties and the landscapes. Birds, not so much. So I'm going to start with a landscape so you'll love it and then slip in some birds on the sly.

Of course, you might be getting bored anyway. So if I fail to garner any interest at all, I can probably go back to not posting anything at all...It is soon going to come to that, seeing how I can see the bottom of the Namibia barrel already. Well, thanks for being an audience to share things with!

Mono lake, Lee Vining, California

The best thing about Mono lake is not that is surrounded by the Sierra's. It is not that it is utterly gorgeous. And not that its a salty terminal lake with spectacular tufa formations. Or with a salt content rivalled only by th dead sea. It is it's ecology. (Next installment)
