Morning March rain in the valley Good for a gneiss stroll at the zoo The first thing was to take a stick and, clean out the soil In the ruts of the wood, Plus prune some of the sticks out of the way-- So the rain can show off this pet wood!  According to Google lens this is some sort of oregano  Not so sure. Maybe some one else will knohs  And final;y the Rudolph the white nose Coati came out to play  Olive like the rain Tankers ! Nohs |

Dang! That's pretty shocking! I hadn't heard that before. That's a lot of water. Good thing they have those channels.

Bring a baby stroller and lug those logs off. Wrap them in a blanket. No one would suspect a thing 😂

Always heard about how the Nile flooded seasonally ? That was when the soil became especially fertile Egyptian source of agricultural riches Well the Salt must have been the same situation for the Hohokam During the winter the Salt ran real low. So that was when they dug and maintained the canals Then the high mountains March snow melt waters would come . The Salt would fill and flow ! That when Hoho’s open the head gates and farmed this massive area. And area they farmed was massive. Incredible canal works!  |

A piece of surface azure that I hounded out of the Salt It really glow  Especially where I placed it In the crevice of this magnificent Pedro  I will get a better picture when it cloudy and rain really enjoy Salting the Zoo its my new hobby & legacy Adding lots of unconscious value People probably overlook Butte being were getting more members from Arizona  And the Zoo attracts lots of out towners Keep your eyes open on your stroll Lot to see and now rocks too! |

As many of you know I salt the zoo Salt with what you may ask, Mohs? Rocks, of course Its quite an interesting cool experiment As I monitor my placements Do people notice them odd rocks beyond unconsciously ? Not sure... Alth I do know rocks end up missing This really blows my mind! Plus I hand out polish stones to the keepers Sometimes I secretly place them where the keepers are sure to find them lots of quartz clusters about  |

I created a job for myself Rock curator at daxoo Arraign their rocks & Give the grounds geological appeal I wont bore ya w/ the details Butte I did haul this really cool yellow heavy granitic rock, from it emplaced ignored area. And replaced the dull gray felsic Salt River Rock/ Now its properly displayed in a up front heavy trafficked area  O and that round glowing sun stone was my addition also  really rocks |
