People often ask me why I get so inspired by nature, and while I can't really give them a cool answer that explains my psychological makeup, I think it might have something to do with the great diversity of Mother and Father Nature's fauna and flora.
Now some would argue … (14 comments)
trees: CSI: "Wrong tree in the wrong location" - 01/04/09 02:21 PM

trees: Plants, plants, plants - 03/14/07 06:20 AM
Forty-two years ago now, my wise ol' grandmother introduced me to cactus and succulents. The rest, as they say, is history.
