Syncline Loop Trailhead, Canyonlands National Park 

The Colorado Plateau’s high desert is an arid region with extreme weather. Summers are hot and dry – surface temperatures can reach 140°F. Late summer monsoon rains bring the possibility of flash floods. In the winter, temperatures often reach below freezing and ice and snow are likely.

Despite these harsh conditions, the high desert is teeming with a variety of plants and animals. The largest concern for many of these plants and animals is water availability. These species have developed a variety of strategies to survive changes in water availability: escaping, resisting, tolerating, and evading drought.

My first published paper!

Please check out my first published paper contribution! I was involved with the field work portion of this study as part of my master's degree in geography at the University of Utah. It's always exciting to expand my knowledge of geospatial technologies and evolve in the world of environmental science.

Pothole Juniper, A hollowed out pothole on the slope of this sandstone formation holds enough soil and water for this juniper to grow and pretty much thrive. There is a reason that the desert's open spaces continue to call me back.

I wanted to submit a few of the clanmew names that I enjoy and thought were really fun!! I took some liberties considering come translations either don't exist or aren't applicable to my ocs.

(Context: My Clans are stationed in Utah, and the specific clan featured in these names is in a desert/cliff esque landscape. Their Clan, JuniperClan, is named after the Utah Juniper, which looks significantly different from a normal juniper.)

Starting with one of my favorite ocs first; Skipperleap - Skepbyiao! I was super happy his prefix had a translation, especially since it's for the "Large Skipper" variety, as it's a little funny, considering Skipperleap is a larger than average cat. I decided on -yiao as the suffix (-spring, straight upward leap) because it sorta fits his personality as well? He is a good natured cat, with a positive attitude, and brings a "spring" to someones step.

Coottail - Ubobufr - A bit harder, but settled with Ubo because of his dark brown-black fur color. I also just really liked the sound of it. Originally I was going to go with -swash, as his name is pretty simple in general, but -bufr seemed more fun considering its a tail feather from a bird, which would connect to the fact his name is Coot-. Again, it just sounds neat :]!

Beechfang - Chokki - Since Beech- isn't in the lexicon, I decided upon "Chok-", or Trunk. It symbolizes Beechfang in the sense that he is solid and strong, a good cat to rely on in stressful situations. He doesn't faulter from conflict, and is reliable. -ki, meaning canine fangs, was another easy choice, since Beechfang is known for his prowess in hunting (and ocassionally fighting). Plus. Chokki just sounds EXTREMELY cute. One of my favorite names by far.

Another Favorite oc of mine, Orchidthroat - Palifuhpi. Since Orchid isn't really used, I settled on Palifuh (Purple) since Orchidthroat has a blue-gray coat, and in lighting it comes across as purple. Orchidthroat is a magnificent speaker, usually bringing conflict to an end and being direct with what he means. -pi was chosen because "Used to indicate someone saw or heard and reported directly" sounds pretty accurate to how Orchidthroat does things.

Finally, Thymeclaw - Hhasskachkubo. Thymeclaw is an elder, and a very respected one at that, as she used to be one of the Clan's most skilled fighters. Hhass was chosen primarily because it means sneaky, and I was trying to reference "creeping thyme", as it's the only thyme I can see native to the UK? There is a varient of Red creeping thyme that can be found in North America, but I'm not too sure on if it'd be present in the region I'm basing this in. -kachkubo specifically being used was to reference Thymeclaw's fierce power, in how she'd strike her enemies physically and emotionally during combat.

It's funny, you're on a totally different continent but all of these names could be 100% region-compliant, from Coots to Orchids! You just happened to perfectly hit a bunch of things I haven't yet translated LMAO how did you do that

BUT ANYWAY! Feel free to make your own translations for Utah species, or modify the words I'm about to give you! Great job btw!

Coot (Fulica atra) = Nio Black, red-eyed waterbirds similar to moorhens which look like ducks when swimming. Known for being devoted parents.

Beech (Fagus sylvatica) = Choo Trunk + Smooth. Known for its very smooth bark, absolutely perfect for carving glyphs on. Not so much a "satisfying" tree to get a scratch on, though! They also produce nuts that squirrels like to eat. These are actually planted purposefully in this area. At the Lake, only ThunderClan has access to them. RiverClan used to have a small orchard of them near the twolegplace, which was where Beechfur got his name from.

Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera) = Fefsue There's actually a ton of orchids in this part of England, but I picked my favorite. It's the self-pollinating bee orchid, which mimics a species of solitary bee that may have gone extinct. You probably know of it from the famous xkcd comic about it, but I WILL give you a little bit of hope! The bee orchid has a ton of morphs and in the warmer parts of its range, DOES actually have bees that still pollinate it. What's weirder is that this far north, they don't seem to have one? So... Bee Orchid, how did you Get here? Is YOUR bee gone? What happened to YOUR bee...

I am ALSO taken aback by the fact that thyme apparently doesn't grow here. Weird. But anyway I got your back; here's two roundabout translations for OTHER, non-Thyme plants that are common in the modeled region, but reference thyme.

Thyme-leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia) = Kukon A delicate little flower beloved by pollinators, and can grow in thick mats across the land. Deceptively quick and hardy, it can become a weed if unmanaged, and hides seeds in the pelt of any cat that comes by it so it can spread further. Very fitting for your girl, I think!

Dotted Thyme-Moss (Rhizomnium punctatum) = Mwarfum Blooming + Moss. Has distinct little egg-shaped leaves and rising tendrils. Considered pretty, but not a particularly useful type of moss. For anyone seeking a more "herbal" vibe for thyme.

hi you made a broad statement about dsmp block guys and paleo pines so curse of

WHICH DINOS WOULD QUACKITY AND CHARLIE HAVE, IN YOUR OPINION

OKAY OKAY SO- This is entirely biased with my headcanons for Quackity being a utahraptor based avian hybrid [which were made BEFORE the utah stream for the record] but I do believe he would have a Utahraptor, Either the base bluebell color

OR A variant of the sandy color with black/blue accents

For Charlie, I think he would have a companion in a Dimetrodon seeing as it's the oldest beastie in Paleo Pines, probably a grass color variant

In the case of him getting an actual mount dino, I think objectively it'd be peak to give him a Deinocheirus or an Ouranosaurus Juniper or Leaf color for Deino

And dragonfly color for Ouran

#the cryptid speaks #paleo pines #dsmp au #also thank you for adding fuel to the fire for this silly idea

Colorado National Monument (No. 19)

Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma)

Other Names:

Family: Cupressaceae (Cypress Family)

Description: may grow up to 9 m tall, although average height is 3-6 m. Seedling leaves are 5-10 mm long and needle-like in appearance. Mature leaves are 1-2 mm-long scales that hug the stems tightly. Bark is fibrous and often twisted. Cones are 8-13 mm in diameter and look like waxy, blue-brown berries 8-13 mm. This species is evergreen.

Range: occurs throughout the Rocky Mountain Region from Utah to Colorado, north to Montana, and south to New Mexico and Arizona. It grows throughout Colorado National Monument.

Did you know: the blue "berries" of the Utah Juniper are actually cones, making the Utah Juniper more closely related to a pine tree than to any true berry-producing plant. Various Native American groups in the desert west used Juniper "berries" medicinally, ceremonially, or secularly as beads. Today, we use the sour-tasting cones of the Juniper to flavor gin (which fittingly derives its name from Dutch jenever, meaning "juniper").

9 bc ur childhood has a lot of stories and 18 bc i think its the only thing i dont know about you already

9. heeeelp.... so many stories here. i think you've heard most of them??? or maybe not.

right before my grandfather died we went on a little road trip to go see his family who lived in the north of the country. this little period has lots of fun silly little stories because we stopped and did a lot of things along the way. like my dad driving very carefully and very fast through utah because pot was Very Illegal there and he had a lot of pot in the RV we were in because both he and my grandfather smoked weed.

also on the topic of my grandfather. one of my most cherished memories of him is of the gathering we held the spring before he died, which was kind of like?? a wake but before he died. we knew it was terminal so we were just making his last summer a celebration of his life. and there was a dance that went all through the house and through the forest all around it and its a moment that really crystallized my love of dance <3

also also when i was very small my dad took me on hikes that were just me and him, and he always took very Specific food that we would eat while we were in the mountains and those foods still bring back really strong memories for me. there's also an early memory i have of seeing a glowworm ? or something dangling from a juniper branch by the river

i have a lot of silly little random stories ajakakajjaak some good and some bad

18. i . have genuinely no idea. i mean i think i believe there is some form of alien life, because the universe is incredibly vast and there has got to be somewhere else these chemical complexities arose? and as for ghosts. hm. i don't know??? i would really really really Like there to be a ghosts because im actually Terrified of death skskdkdkskk so im hopeful and a little skeptical

#shut up cat #i had to try to think of the stories that didnt sound horribly traumatizing skdgjskzkzkkzkzkz
