National Public Lands Day Is September 24th Leave a comment
Pampas Grass In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
For many, pampas grass is an ornamental landscape plant, for others it’s an environmentally dangerous plant that crowds out indigenous desert plants and can become kneeling for wildfires. Sabino Canyon has a lot of pampas grass, fountain grass, buffel grass and other invasive plants. The battle to remove these invasive plants continues on National Public Lands Day as Sabino Stewards (Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists) and community members will be digging, pulling, and bagging invasive plants near the Sabino Creek area. This activity is one of several activities that will be taking place in the Coronado National Forest September 24th on Public Lands Day. All fees are waived for the day.

Geological fact: Bryce Canyon isn’t actually a canyon.
It’s actually a natural amphitheater.

This beautiful land of hoodoos is best view at sunrise or sunset. Unfortunately
these images were taken around mid-day — still a beautiful National Park to visit.
Named after pioneer and cattleman Ebenezer Bryce, who once said of the canyon,
“One hell of a place to loose a cow.”
“Paiute Indian history says the colorful,
wildly-shaped hoodoos were ‘Legend People’
who were turned into stone by the trickster god Coyote.”
. . . and I thought the roadrunner was the trickster!

Be willing to have it so.
Acceptance of what has happened
is the first step to overcoming
the consequences of any misfortune.

To live for some future goal is shallow.
It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.
