    In the desert leafless land, Lady Saltcedar dances in a goden costume, adding a bit of style and art in a barren place…accenting the performing art of nature…

    Such a pretty and delicate branch..Never heard of saltcedar.

    The golden glow is such a contrast to the barren desert. And your words work perfectly with the photo.

    You have such a lovely collection of pics and haiku of different desert Ladies! I love this one too, the Tamarisk tree.
    Thanks for sharing so much beauty. My idea of the desert is changing…
