Following Wonder on the Road - Learning a new language - The Brittlebush is a common, widespread desert plant They survive because of their long roots and also they compete for space and limited water because germination-inhibiting chemicals leach out of their leaves and into the soil so that few species of annual wildflowers can grow under them. I found this one in Cochise Stronghold in Arizona’s Dragoon Mountains where Chief Cochise is buried. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d83071b545a636c530025a/d89f485f-fda0-4beb-915f-6cdad44234a6/IMG_1930.jpg Blog Posts - Following Wonder on the Road - Learning a new language - Teddy B ear Cholla, or Jumping Cholla There are many kinds of cholla cacti, pronounced chohl-yah.

There we walked through a beautiful cholla garden. I got on my hands and knees to take photos from different angles much to the amusement of others.

We’ve learned that most national parks, while not dog friendly, have a dirt road somewhere where we are allowed to walk with Neo. These spots are often quiet wonders. We took this photo on our walk, and you can see how with their arms outstretched the saguaro can easily be anthropomorphized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d83071b545a636c530025a/48f6037e-0faa-4162-aa44-bdb3ff1fa787/IMG_1931.jpg Blog Posts - Following Wonder on the Road - Learning a new language - Make it stand out Our evening walk in the Sonoran Desert around our camp north west of Tucson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d83071b545a636c530025a/e8d8f6c1-4f3d-4d81-9420-eaa80fbccde0/IMG_1904.jpg Blog Posts - Following Wonder on the Road - Learning a new language - Saguaro Cactus This iconic cactus is common in the Sonoran Desert.

I did not take this photo by Ryan Arnst on Unsplash, but we’ve mostly seen dormant ocotillos and I wanted to show the green and red colors.
