Morning haze obscures distant hills above badlands formations, Death Valley Naitonal Park.

Valley of the Thompson River, looking S just outside 2018-05-23. Historically home of St’uxwtéws aka Bonaparte Indian Band (bonaparteindianband.com/). Just about behind us here is the McAbee Fossil Beds Heritage Site (www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/ind) For scale - that tiny dark line running from the left roughtly at the middle of the image? is a freight train. At my feet was a clump of cactus.

ABC News - The surprising history and rich diversity of Australia's deserts

The Australian Deserts. Three quarters of Australia is in the arid zone.

Euphorbia abdelkuri is a fascinating plant. It literally only lives on one scorching hot piece of rock in the ocean.
It can survive on almost no water. Its skin is like an old reptile's.

The in has an impressive group of these plants - two of them shown here. While they seem almost lifeless, you can see the year's growth clearly.

What is
This ball of dust?
Whence has gone
The blue and green
Home in which we did trust?
Our own hands
Have wrought this
So face it, we must.
