Toast ~

(click to enlarge) This blog is burning,

but, unlike California deserts,

there is no rain on the horizon.

The blog continues to be overwhelmed with WP errors. There is the unfollowed followers issue and there are now 26K+ and growing daily, PHP warning in my WP site logs linked to WP installed/managed plug ins.

PHP warnings are caused by unwanted errors in code or script. They are warnings that there are problems that are likely to cause bigger problems in the future.

Additionally, Google has identified 1.26K blog pages not able to be indexed by google due to redirect errors.

I am not hopeful that this will be fixed.

So, unlike the rain in the desert,

making wildflowers, rivers and waterfalls,

this blog continues,

to burn.

Cheers to you from the wet and happy Sonoran Desert~

Note: Desert wildflowers in order are: Bristlebush, Prickly Pear Cactus, Desert Willow and Desert Marrow.

  1. Cindy. Gorgeous pics as always. Man that sucks about your WP problems. I’ve been having some issues too but nothing like that. I hope they get their act together soon. That’s got to be so frustrating! Wishing you the best, Niki ♥

      1. Thanks, Cindy. Darn, I’m not getting notifications when you comment back. Hmm. I’ll check my email settings. Hope you have a great weekend. =) ♥

  2. Alright. Talk about being a straw in a pile of hay. That’s me today. Actually, second time around (maybe better than even the first). Caught your “like” on my latest (you know I do hope, how very very much I appreciate you – no matter what – you’re always there) (you touch my heart, you do). So I didn’t at first recognize the title of your latest post, so here I am. I’m fine, but still, I felt a thirst for something more. You are the answer to that. Every image, every one, answers me. You have a magic in you my friend, so must say thanks again.

    Well yea, isn’t WP a mixed bag. Their machine does do what I need, albeit awkwardly. They keep violating a basic rule – don’t fix what ain’t broke, and improvements shouldn’t damage what already is. Progress is a dirty word applied to them. But I do like my blog, designed for utter simplicity. Actually I don’t like, don’t use, their “block editor”. I go “classic” instead, & pardon me, ain’t afraid of a little HTML. Built my own website once, all from scratch, so no big bad wolf, doing code. HOWSOEVER me don’t like anyone who causes you grief. But All Considered… your abundant images, so beautiful, proving magic does exist, and no small cabal of followers by the dozens – I’d say, not bad for your woes. People are glad when you’re in town. ❤️

    1. Ahh…. I am grateful to know you Neil. Blogging is magical because it connects like minded people from all over this very small world of ours into a wonderful and unexpected community. Your thoughtful words touch my heart my friend. Thank you sincerely and be well დ

  3. Oh, one more time. This is probably my favorite post of yours Ever. The desert with water, brilliant. And the hummmingbird at the end, brings it all home, up close, personal like. The way you “see” is a gift.

    PS. A desert naturalist you’d enjoy I’m sure. Craig Childs. He loves the desert, writes very well, sees things we mortals don’t see. Any book he does is good.

    1. I read Child’s book, “The Animal Dialogues,” and was enraptured by it. He description of being stalked by a mountain lion in the desert is something I will never forget. You know what I like Neil and thank you very much for your kindness my friend დ

  4. Lovely images. Sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing glitches on WP too. I’ve had so many bad experiences with the glitches. And have noticed almost a thousand of my pages are also not indexed. I really hope WP steps up and at least tries to fix these issues but it doesn’t seem likely.
