No Way, Sis! An Oasis!

2/28/22:

Oasis (noun): a fertile spot in the desert, where water is found.

Being in the desert had really refreshed (pun intended) my love for water. Such a simple molecule that does so much for this beautiful planet. Thus, my favorite hike was a trail to an oasis split in two by a stream.

I knew this trail was different from the very first step. Flowers were in bloom all around us and I took so much time to just breathe in the color that I had long not seen. We then happened upon a stream that has tadpoles and beautifully clear water in it. Walking alongside this stream toward the oasis of fan palms ahead, we ran into a tree frog, many hummingbirds, and some sphinx moths.

Our timing was poor with this hike, and we were walking back at sundown and had to travel at dusk, but seeing such a dry place thrive with the little bit of water available was such a wonderful surprise.
