Sonoran Desert..Mostly nonverbal


 Through the windshield of the MH on a windy day...think the dust enhances the colors


Ouch..this Gila woodpecker inspects our Saguaro


 We were looking for petroglyphs at Charlie Bell pass and this rock caught my eye, then the tiny lizard sunbathing


On a drive up Pipeline Rd. to Coffee Pot Mtn. we spotted this rare crested Saguaro


This barbed beauty is appropriately named a fish hook pincushion cactus


Close-up of an old skeleton


'Tis the season....


For wildflowers...


These are the times we live in!


Night sky photography haunts me....  Venus & Jupiter somewhat out of focus!


We've traveled a long way up on a tough 4-wheel drive track along Pipeline Rd.


Just off the top of my head!


There is copper in these hills


So many of these sunsets!


A Hallelujah Moment..Amen!

Sure looks like spring in the desert. That crested saguaro is huge. Love that night sky shot. And all the others too.
