Desert Flowers
Desert Flowers – When we were in Arizona a few months ago, some of the cactus finally started to bloom. I don’t know what these are but the Gila woodpecker sure enjoyed them.
We have a bit of color starting to show up in my neck of the woods this week, I do love the month of September, for me it is usually the start of fall colors and this year it has begun. Hope everyone gets out and enjoys nature’s color wheel called Autumn.

Thanks a lot, Sandra for your fantastic write-up and exemplary photos too. Truly appreciate. Health and happiness always 🌳 🌻 🍀
Thank you very much 🙂
Desert flowers are so amazing, and they are so fleeting
Yes, and I did not get to see that many of them when I was there this past spring, they were just starting to bloom.
It’s good what you got 😃😎
Our color burst is a still a ways off, but the temps are starting to dip (58 yesterday) but heading back up for the rest of the week – still jealous of our Gila – still a gap on my list.
They are such a cool looking bird. It wad 42 here this morning. We are heading to Georgia next month and a stop over at Dauphin Island this winter at some point. We like skipping winter.
You take amazing shots 🥺🥺
Beautiful and vibrant shades of red you have captured here Sandra and I like how the cacti are outlined in light!
one word: beautiful
Thank you very much 😊

Autumn reds are my favourite
Thank you for these great shots, Sandra. You have captured the essence of the plant up close. You also provoked my interest. Had to do some research to discover more.

I discovered that hummingbirds also love the flowers and are sustained by them.
Glad you’re having an autumn. Still looking forward to the end of extreme summer.
Have a great day
Thank you for the link, how interesting and I would have loved to see that hummingbird in the photo, we were there a little to early for those.
