The Sonoran Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus nebrius) is a collared lizard found in Arizona and Mexico. The lizard is a grayish-yellow with grayish-white spots, which are large down the middle of the body, and small on the sides. Adults are mainly only active during spring and summer, but the juveniles can be active until November.

There is always something new to discover in the world of nature. Last week, we saw this lovely flower for the first time. It's a winged dock (Rumex venosus). Wild-begonia is another name, although this plant is not related to the genus Begonia. These blooms were covering a hill in the Cedars near our house. They seem to love dry, sandy conditions. If we had not ventured off of our familiar beaten path, we never would have seen them. In the same vicinity, we also saw yucca plants, almost ready to bloom. We've seen a few of these guys before. He's a desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos), commonly known as a horny toad, although he is not a toad. Isn't he cute? These creatures subsist on ants and other slow-moving insects. **A blogger comment from Ryan O'Donnell at http://www.birdingisfun.com/ says the above is actually a Greater Short-Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma hernandesi). Since I'm not a biologist and he is, I think he's got it right! To learn about an amazing array of other worlds, click here.

Our Texas unit concluded on Friday with a "Kindergarten Rodeo". Here are some photos of various ideas I found on the web.
Transport yourself to the magical, golden oasis that is the desert in the Any Old Iron Desert Suit. This lavender ensemble features a form-fitting blazer and a pair of flare trousers, that have been decked out in all things desert, from the inhabitants to the environment. Slithering snakes, lounging lizards, supple succulents and more have been hand-beaded onto the suit amongst the flora and fauna that grows native in this arid land. Sporadically throughout the suit, crystal rhinestones can be found, twinkling as if the sunlight was bouncing off grains of sand. This ornate design doesn't belong to one area of the suit, but completely covers the suit. What this suit has it flare, it doesn't lack in function. The blazer has many attributes that make the suit well worth while, from a variety of pockets, both within the inside and on the outside of the jacket, to a silky smooth satin interior lining, which provides optimal comfort and ventilation.
