Only kidding about the polyps. It sounds like you really appreciate where you live and it speaks to your soul. I feel the same way about living in the Sonoran desert.
Thank you. I've never been to a real desert before. Always wanted to. Though where i live on Oahu is considered a desert. Cactus and Scorpions, though I've never seen a scorpion. Only heard they are here. This area of Oahu is so overdeveloped its no longer desert like. Nice to have so little rain though.
