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°!

I love watching Prickly Pear tunas (fruits) change color from green>pink>maroon so I used data visualization in my art to track the color change. On Day 19 I saw a Harris’s Antelope Ground Squirrel eating it & on Day 20 the tuna had fallen off the cactus, onto the ground.
