I am going nuts with the bugs, disoriented being on my own for the first time (feeling a bit giddy), and the heat is amazing. We hike into an area to do some digging and I wander off a bit and find a place to sketch. Plein air is so tricky in this place. I make notes about what to watch out for and remember for future.


This place is surreal and assaults the senses from every angle. I am thrilled.
