I know it has been a tough winter for much of the country, my home included. But, I am fortunate that I am spending some time in the Sonoran desert, which has enjoyed great weather. This morning, I took the camera along on one of my daily stump shoots.
Here is a typical scene from where I am:
Everything here will bite or stick you; this is what a sagauro looks like up close.
Uniform of the day down here is shorts and tee shirt, but watch where you step. If it isn't some kind of cactus, the warm weather have brought the snakes out early.
A challenge here while stumping is finding a target that won't destroy your arrows. Prickly pears are a good choice.
The desert critters leave some holes that become target possibilities, too.
You folks who are stuck in the snow belt, get up close to your computer and warm up with this pic.
