San Andreas fault runs directly through here causing this elevated wedge by tectonic pressure against the Indio Hills fault.

This was the Telegraph Fire from several years back. Was very near Globe Arizona.

Took this picture in February 2026.

Happy cactus. This is in the area of Saguaro East National Park.

Came across this beautiful saguaro on a cactus rescue. Sadly a development will clear this land.

As in King Canyon in the southeastern corner of the Tucson Mountain unit of Saguaro National Park. Great place for sunsets. Also a good shot at seeing raptors to the east, popping up above the hills that separate the park from the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and its birding shows with rehab raptors.

The beauty of the North American Monsoon in Arizona.

Sonoran desert comes alive after very heavy rain. This is the Santa Catalina Mountains in AZ.

I feel this spot doesn’t get enough credit. Cool rock formations. Awesome visuals in the badlands terrain. Never too crowded. Toadstool geological park outside of Crawford Nebraska.

Cactus wren nest in a cane cholla at sunset. One of my favorite birds. Sonoran Desert.

Snow in the Sonoran Desert a couple years ago. This is Gates Pass west of Tucson. Elevation around 3200 ft.
