Great horned owl brooding in her nest in an ironwood tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona, March 2015
 


In the deep silence
of an old ironwood tree
nests a great horned owl.

Deep silence soothes the weary soul.

    When I drop by your desert, I always come away having drunk from a cool oasis.
