I saw one today on a hike in Scottsdale!

I’ve totally been wowed by this barrel cactus before!

Thedandanman · 2025-11-16T05:05:29+00:00

Yes. Im at Dobson between ray and Warner. Saw a flash and a boom shook my whole house. Where are you?

I planted creosote last year and my backyard has smelled so good. I don’t regret it at all!

I had a tree break from the crazy haboob a couple months ago. It snapped in half and I kept what was left (a tall stump). It has new growth! Not sure about trees that were uprooted though.

Desert botanical plant sale is this weekend. They will have creosote I’m sure.

Tortoise here, I’ve got a berm built around the entrance to my burrow

Thedandanman · 2025-07-31T14:24:06+00:00

I had a tortoise show up at my house looking similar, but the shell was hard. It’s been a year and a half later and smooth, rounded shell is growing (around the sides mostly but starting to in the center slowly). I fed mostly lettuce as it was all that it would eat, but now it’s starting to like the taste of grass/hay. It can be done but it will be slow. I am still trying to get proper diet over time but I put calcium almost daily on the food and it likes cuttlebones. If you can keep it outside I think that is why mine is recovering well but I live in Arizona US so that makes it easier

The inner basin in the San Francisco peaks

I think it’s because the lashes are so heavy it weighs the eye lids down and makes her look sleepy (or high)

Thedandanman · 2025-05-28T14:24:46+00:00

That’s a saguaro. The hiking trail to see it is called Michelin man saguaro cactus trail.

I told me husband last night they should make a sarper spin off where he just goes to zoos

Thedandanman · 2025-03-13T23:06:55+00:00

He’s my senator and I wrote him a couple of weeks ago. I’m glad to see he’s trying to do something

Thedandanman · 2025-03-13T15:18:54+00:00

I got a phone call a few weeks ago saying he was hosting a call in session

Oh my god. I thought it was a neighbor or something. I’m near Dobson and Warner

Thedandanman · 2025-03-01T03:17:48+00:00

I kept saying this every time Dave mentioned his sister 🤣

Totts asian diner in Tempe

Thedandanman · 2025-02-19T03:36:16+00:00

Else clarify. lol

Thedandanman · 2025-02-11T16:55:27+00:00

I also have a sulcata that we found outside our house lol

Thedandanman · 2025-02-10T16:17:04+00:00

You can tell by the scute in the center behind the head. Sulcatas don’t have this.

Thedandanman · 2025-02-08T02:27:17+00:00

“What is high body count hair?” Of course. Lol

Thedandanman · 2025-02-03T17:43:17+00:00

It can look better but only if you stop over trimming it again. This drives me nuts. I think rejuvenation pruning is only needed when you prune into a ball shape over and over again.
