sagebrush and juniper with the occasional tiny yellow blossom sprout without fear in the drought stricken desert touting new growth despite the Sun’s best efforts and the total lack of precipitation – granules of wind-blown granite mountains give way underfoot leaving misshapen footprints near faded remnants of an old rattlesnake shed strewn delicately over last year’s deer tracks preserved in a landscape that exists outside of mankind’s time – Did Louis Lamoure ride though here? Was this a secret cowboy stomping ground? Off in the distance comes a noise though the underbrush slow and methodical meandering one lone cow steps into the sunlight as we lock eyes the buzzing of insects fades I lose track of the surrounding foliage and consider, “What a cud he must chew!”
