Life in the Gobi

The Gobi is a land of infinite variety. When I picture a desert, I think of shifting sands. Not so the Gobi. The land varied greatly depending upon where we were. Predominately we saw small plants spread out across the gravel, dusty terrain – as far as the eye could see. Outcrops of rocks appeared periodically but vast, rolling, dry terrain dominated the landscape. That said, there were hundreds of wildflowers nestled low to the ground and an infinite variety of bugs and some small animals. They were smart, remaining in the shade until it cooled off in the late afternoon.
