A visitor enjoying artwork Thursday night while taking part of the Scottsdale Art Walk, Scottsdale, Arizona.
The Art Walk is held on Thursdays from 7 to 9 pm in the Downtown Scottsdale Art District. Scottsdale is home to over 100 art galleries, and the Art Walk has been a tradition for over 30 years.
Here is our gallery of Scottsdale photos.
Before the wildflowers fade and are gone – which won’t be long, I have been playing around with some close-ups. This is brittle-bush with owl’s-clover in the background.
Here are more flower photos.
Pink-Flower Hedgehog Cactus.
As the wildflowers start to fade, the cactus flower begin to bloom!
Here is our gallery of Sonoran Desert photos.

Desert Tortoise.
I was thrilled to finally see a wild desert tortoise last weekend. On top of being a threaten species, these tortoise spend more then 95% below ground in burrows. That combination makes them a rare sight.
I spotted one while mountain biking last weekend, but by the time I returned to my vehicle and grabbed my camera, I was unable to find her. I have looked for her everyday since then – how far can a tortoise go! I finally spotted her again yesterday while doing some more mountain biking photos. This time I had my camera – what a treat!
Saguaro Lake, Tonto National Forest, Arizona.
Always seems strange to see lakes in such a dry environment.
The normal high here this time of year is 77 degrees – this week it has been pushing records highs, with temperatures in the upper 80’s. Unfortunately it is really cooking the wildflowers. I have been concentrating entirely on scenics with flowers – the travel, city, recreation and wildlife stuff can wait until the wildflowers are gone, which may not be long.
