The Beauty is a Desert

the desert is mystically alluring at sunset, looking docile and safe few sights are as gorgeous as her evening skies of oranges and pinks those who know, do not venture out after dark for the desert is like a dangerous woman who looks unassuming but is anything but in the crooks and crevices of sand dunes and cacti there are dangers hidden from most. scorpions, camel spiders, tarantulas. thorny devils, iguanas, and sidewinder rattlesnakes the beauty of the desert sometimes obliterates these facts. it would be rare to encounter a fennec fox, badger or muskrat but they are there too, and could become violent if startled or crossed. the desert is a beauty; but a vulture or bald eagle could swoop down and carry you off and your little dog too.
