Back in February, 2016, we were traveling the desert southwest. Tucson was of course a required stop! One evening we took a drive to the Tucson Mountain District of the Saguaro National Park. It was a visual delight to watch the desert turn from the bright sunlight of the day into the subdued lighting of dusk followed by yet another night.
The shadows lengthen
One by one the cacti lose the sun’s warmth
The golden hues of the day’s last light

It looks beautiful and very different from the Mojave Desert.

I know I do. My love affair with the desert started in 1973 when I started grad school at UofA in Tucson…

We visited there last month, and we agree that there is something special about the Sonoran Desert.
