    1. If nature had personalities, the Arizona desert would be that leathery old cowboy who doesn’t say much, wears the same sun-baked hat every day, and carries a lizard for a sidekick. Meanwhile, places like Oregon’s forests or Florida’s beaches are the soft-spoken poets and daydreamers of the natural world — all misty mornings and gentle breezes.
