Springtime Desert Flowers

Springtime in the Sonoran desert can be a wonderous adventure, bringing cactus flowers regularly and wildflowers in exceptionally wet years when precipitation falls at exactly the right times and intervals and temperatures do not warm too quickly. Be it wildflowers or cactus flowers, however, their beauty is unquestioned, and for those with an adventurous spirit, the world of macro photography brings treats never before glimpsed from a normal eye level.
