“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break & all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” — L.R. Knost

Walking through Tanque Verde Wash was a slow burn during a 7.99 mile walk enabling me to enjoy a view of Mica Mountain then a Phainopepla aka “Goth Cardinal” & a Vermilion Flycatcher perching on the same tree!

New Year’s Eve Sonoran Desert Wolf of the Sky perched on a tree in Tanque Verde Wash looking north towards Babad Do’ag was impressed by my 2025 walking total of 1,678.85 miles but challenged me to walk more in 2026!

Why is Sebastian the University of Miami Hurricanes mascot?

The knowledge & resilience of an Ibis is instinctive being the last bird to take shelter before a hurricane hits & is the 1st to reappear afterwards signaling safety for all wildlife who look to the Ibis for leadership!

C-A-N-E-S, CANES!

Walking 3,098.69 miles in 2 years rewarded me a friendly wave of the tail that was no bull & indifference from sheep yet the legs of a 6 foot 202 pound Weasel brought a smile to the face of a donkey in Tanque Verde…
