I don’t know how to make an entertaining blog post out of a bunch of pretty flowers, but here they are, in no particular order, as well as some critters at the end.
The saguaros were in full bloom and more bloomy than I’ve ever seen them.
I tried to google research why there are more blooms than usual–at least according to my admittedly short Arizona memory–but Wikipedia didn’t say found no answers. Anyone know?
As an added bonus, this colorful lizard kindly posed.
As did these pretty birds.
And this squirrel . . . while perched on top of a cactus. How? Don’t ask me.

Did you enhance the colors? They’re fantastic.

Amazing. You are getting soo good!
Thank you!
