Desert Garden

This is a wide shot that sums up my travels across Arizona. Many many desert plants in bloom and looking healthy after a recent spring rain.
Its not very often you get to see so many very large cacti flower and many people do not even know cactus and desert plants produce flowers at all. Many of these cacti looked to be over 10 feet tall and finding a spot to take a picture along a deserted highway was tricky.
We have a very particular affection for the desert since we spend 2 weeks each year at Burning Man. Seeing a bare landscape with thriving vegetation is an inspiration and shows that every environment can be adapted to over time.
