Saguaro National Park, Tucson, Arizona.

There are two Saguaro National Parks, Saguaro West and Saguaro East, the East is also known as the Rincon Mountain District.  The two are not very close together, they are on opposite sides of Tucson – I will let you guess the direction :).  This photo is from the East District.  I hear the West has better wildflowers right now, I’m going to check it out tomorrow.  Gotta say, the East had way more color then I have even seen in my few visits – it was looking great. 

It will be nice to have more Saguaro National Park photos.

Route 66, Arizona.

Even historic Route 66 looks better with wildflowers! 

It is hard to believe this little road was once the main East / West highway to California.  I explored long sketches of the road through California and Arizona in 2005, and in many places you would rarely see another car.  It was kind of fun to try to imagine what this road was like back in its hay day.  It had to be some adventure crossing this country, especially in the summer.

Here are more Route 66 photos.

Poppies in the Arizona Mojave Desert.

Another storm just past through the desert Southwest dumping even more rain!  The Phoenix area received an additional inch of rain this past weekend, with even more forecasted for today and tomorrow, this really could be good news for wildflowers in Arizona this spring.  Palm Springs also received .6 of an inch of rain.  Unfortunately the rain largely missed Anza-Borrego, they officially received .02 of an inch.
