Real nice shots. As a New Englander I expected the Sonoran Desert to be just a lot of sand with a few cactus plants, here and there. As your shots show, it's very lush in its own way; it's just that the plants are all specialized to minimize water loss.
Thanks for looking. Many people who hear the word "Desert" think of Lawrence of Ariba riding a Camel across endless sand doons or maybe the Gobi as pictured in National Geographic.
The Sonoran Desert typically gets 8-12 inches of rainfall per year, 2/3 of which comes from summer monsoons. Characterized by the iconic Saguaro Cactus the desert can be amazingly lush and green during spring and the monsoon period
