I never get tired of visiting the Wichita Wildlife Refuge, no matter what time of year I go, it's always beautiful. And the view from the top of Mt. Scott will always be one of my favorites. But going in the spring is the best time. Everything is in bloom, the rolling hills and plains covered in yellow flowers and cacti with purple blossoms.

I left fascinated with saguaro; they're unusual and taller than I thought they would be, covering hills and dipping down into valleys.

I love abandoned places. I've always been drawn to them; old schools and hotels, a lone house sitting in the middle of a corn field.
