inspired by:
• the luminous red nova of the monoceros (unicorn) constellation (v838 monocerotis) [1]
• cactus blossoms, especially saguaro [2] and prickly pear [3, 4]
• snakes as mythological bringers of life and light (hail satan 
)

This little guy, a prickly pear, even though a bit ignored decided to show off the last few days.
Spring is in full bloom in the Sonoran desert 💛
1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what happened this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ art of Tucson nature observations 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week. In ‘23 we got snow. In ‘26 the temp’s been over 90°!
