Window on George

I love this photo. I took it myself. In the desert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calotropis_procera Thank you, Lizz, for helping me to identify it! And also thank you for the fossils that you picked up for me, providing us with "Lunch!" I will walk with you to the edge of the world.

Forbidden Fruits of the Desert Can you find the connection? Aren't these Monarch caterpilars the coolest thing ever? http://www.monarchbutterflygarden.net/butterfly-plants/calotropis-procera-milkweed-tree/ I picked up this pod on my first desert walk in November last year.   It was as light as a feather.   Riyadh had just had the first rains in many months.   The wadi was green with new growth, and  the air was clean and fresh.   The light was just perfect. When fishes flew... The Arabian Desert was once ocean http://www.poetseers.org/the-great-poets/misc-2/when-fishes-flew/   Signs of running water Time.
