There is peace within order - I spent a couple of hours last night and today identifying the wildflowers encountered yesterday along the drive toward Mount Trumball, Arizonia.  The road was dirt, washboard in some places; the necessity for 4-wheel drive helped the jeep traverse Wolf Hole Mountain, all worth the effort to view the abundance of flowers.  Categorizing them by studying the detailed descriptions in the National Audubon Society Field Guide was a satisfying task.  There are distinguishing minutia that differentiate each species allowing me to say, 'Aha, this is the one.'  After this acknowledgment, a sense of satisfaction permeates my inner being.
