What beautiful pictures Joel!
Cholla never ceases to amaze me!
And how about those flowers on the crested saguaro! Surprised

Some of those animals look familiar too!
The young goat from the Desert museum looks bigger than when we saw him...he was only 2 days old when we visited!
Practically all the other animals, except the birds and otters, were sleeping lazily in the midday sun that day. Smile

Thanks for bringing back memories!

[Sigh]

That flowering cholla (sometimes called a walking stick cactus) is AMAZING! Very Happy

nice pictures, the hummingbirds are cool, how did you catch them they move so fast? the reddish looking cactus is cool too, did you see all the animals in the wild?

The animals were in the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum. I try to find them in the wild, but they're tough to find! Very Happy

Those are some great pictures. Love the chollas and the crested saguaro. Those little hummers are just great love them. The cochemia is also nice.
