Now that the “writing leave” has really begun, I’m starting to give proof that I really will write with a series of posts .
One set of articles (or chapters) I’m planning to write is about trees. The topic matches one in materials we will use in the online language courses we are creating. While I was in Arizona, I took the chance to take photos of palo verde trees in the bloom of spring.
The palo verde is the state tree of Arizona. They are found primarily in the Sonoran Desert (Arizona and northern Mexico). The Spanish name means “green stick” and the green trunk and branches allows photosynthesis to occur. The tree has very deep roots, allowing it to tap into water sources even in the dry desert.
These trees were in the neighborhood where I stayed in Gilbert and were gorgeous against the clear blue sky.
