I went back to Tucson for the comic con, but I was reminded of the beauty of the flora and fauna of the Sonoran desert while I was there. Phainopeplas are the punk rockers of the desert, there are no lizards to speak of in NYC, and I'd forgotten just how lovely the blooms of fish hooked barrel cacti are.
