Coral Cactus

I always enjoy Spring in the desert.  When the flowers start to bloom the desert comes alive with color.  In some areas it's like an artist has splashed color over the countryside.

Flying High at Sunrise

It's tourist season here in the desert and one activity the snowbirds enjoy is taking hot air balloon rides at sunrise. That's the best time out here as it's usually calm early in the morning. We can get some pretty heavy winds as the day warms up so they like to get an early start. I'm not an early riser but was fortunate to catch this shot one morning.
