The Sonora desert is the desert that covers southern Arizona, northern Mexico and southeastern California. Tucson, Arizona is a place I used to spend the summers and Christmases with my stepmother, who moved there because of her emphysema. I fell in love with the desert immediately.
The tall saguaro cacti in the illustration grow only in this desert and are my absolute favorite plants. I started out writing a poem about them, but it wasn't working, so I switched to tumbleweed, also all over the Sonoran desert. I'll write about saguaro later, promise. Tumbleweed spread their seeds by breaking off from the root of the plant and dropping their seeds as they tumble in the wind.
I love them, too.
