Listening to Plants

It’s the rainy season in Flagstaff and it is wonderful to feel the moisture in the air and the vibrant growth of the plants and animals this time of the year.  All of the seasons have their special gifts and the native plants and animals are all adapted to the rhythm.  It always impresses me to see and feel the plants shut down during the dry months, then explode with growth and flowers when the rains begin.  The flow of the seasons and the changes of conditions with shifts in  altitude are quite magnificent in this state.
