my big backyard

sorry, been awhile since a post... been busy getting ready for thailand, etc. pretty much ready to go. also, going to denmark tomorrow. it will be a whirlwind of laundry, unpacking and repacking in the 36 hours i'm here before going to thailand....

anyway, seen some interesting things lately. we have a gecko that lives on the back balcony. i've seen a great horned owl, western screech owl, banded gecko and desert tortoise at the evening tours i volunteered at, at the desert botanical garden. also lots of nighthawks and a few cicadas and toads. its pretty nice there in the evening. i recommend it if you're in town.

alright, back to packing... i plan to put up a denmark post before i head to thailand, but no promises!

also, check out this inspirational article in the new york times...
