montucky - I like the contrast too and I have always like Yuccas. We are even able to grow them up here!04/27/2009 - 9:38 am

oneshotbeyond - shadows are one of my favorite things. It's sometimes hard to make them work to your advantage in photographs...but I think you did well with this one.04/27/2009 - 10:59 am

myphotoscout - Very nice. I like how you placed the plant in your picture.04/28/2009 - 1:14 am

Marcie - Exquisite detail. Am enjoying this tour of the desert!!!04/28/2009 - 6:52 am

Gandalf - This is a treat for the eye. so many lines and contrasts.04/28/2009 - 12:15 pm

Sandra - I love the contrasting colors and lines, my eyes were happy :)04/29/2009 - 7:19 pm

burstmode - This is what I photographed a few weeks ago in Austin.04/25/2009 - 6:14 pm

montucky - That is a wonderful capture of cactus blossoms!04/25/2009 - 11:06 pm

Aiyana - What a great photo. I'm still waiting on mine to bloom. No sign at all of even putting on buds. Last year, it had nine flowers open all at the same time. Aiyana04/25/2009 - 11:56 pm

Marcie - What gorgeous colors. Have never seen the desert in spring bloom!!!04/26/2009 - 10:19 am

morningjoy - Those blooms are the most lovely dusty rose color. How can something so delicate grow on such a prickly plant? By the way, I'm another teardrop admirer. My husband and I would love to have one.04/26/2009 - 4:54 pm

Gandalf - wonderful color04/28/2009 - 12:14 pm

amuirin - They really are. Beautiful, i mean.05/08/2009 - 3:22 pm

wildstorm - Ah yes. One of my favorite places on earth...04/21/2009 - 9:56 pm

tomwhelan - I'm so envious - I'd love to be in the desert in spring. Handsome picture, nice composition.04/21/2009 - 10:14 pm

suehenryphotography - So nice....enjoy exploring the desert! We are enjoying viewing your photos of it.04/22/2009 - 8:08 am

montucky - The Sonoran Desert is great in the winter and especially beautiful in spring when the cactus and wildflowers bloom. I've visited the Saguaro National Park many times and really do miss seeing it.04/22/2009 - 9:22 am

Preston Surface - But when I was just a wee sprite I lived in Tucson. I remember the cactus and Mt. Lemon. As a child, Tucson seemed like a magical place. Thanks for the memories.04/22/2009 - 2:36 pm

myphotoscout - To be honest I was slightly disappointed by the park. There isn't much but cacti. I think going during spring when the cacti are in bloom is the right decision.04/23/2009 - 9:54 am

Marcie - Such a beautiful landscape. Love how you've captured it. Altho it sounds hot..it also sounds absolutely wonderful!!!04/24/2009 - 9:50 am

amuirin - Hm. I've never thrown a fit cus a blogger didn't take me with them someplace before... but there's always a first time.04/21/2009 - 5:54 pm

Lori - I love this! That blue against the yellow/green background. Gorgeous!04/21/2009 - 9:19 pm

Laurie - Wow that is beautiful.04/19/2009 - 9:07 pm

montucky - That's very colorful! I used to visit the Desert Botanical Garden quite often when I lived in the Phoenix area.04/19/2009 - 10:24 pm

Gandalf - those are pretty wild. Wish I could get there to see them live. Very vibrant colors.04/28/2009 - 12:08 pm

montucky - I know exactly how you feel, Bo! That is an attractive and typical look at a cactus!04/18/2009 - 9:15 am

Anna Surface - I really like this capture with the way it is composed and the brightness. Very nice. I was wondering if you had been caught in any storms but it seems as if you are in a lot of sunshine. Shine on... :)04/18/2009 - 10:07 am

Marcie - Gorgeous detail. Am always surprised by the flowers that grow on cactii.04/18/2009 - 2:56 pm

suehenryphotography - I like the composition of this. Glad you are enjoying the sunshine and warmth. It keeps raining here!!!04/20/2009 - 6:05 am

amuirin - That's so pretty, it is. Artful. delicate. But I want vistas! Gimmie Vistas!04/21/2009 - 5:55 pm

Anna Surface - Beautiful captures of El Morro, Bo. This is an especially lovely photo with the textures, snow, and depth. :)04/17/2009 - 8:27 am

starsandsky87 - Amazing isn't it?04/17/2009 - 10:31 am

Debi - All of your landscape shots are fabulous, Bo. Very "Ansel Adamsy" in composition. I would think he would love them.04/17/2009 - 1:03 pm

Laurie - Beautiful...Spring is definitely continuing to be elusive.04/17/2009 - 2:20 pm

spamwarrior - That is lovely! It was snowing here in New England >.< a week ago.04/17/2009 - 2:53 pm

burstmode - So that is El Morro...I like the photo.04/17/2009 - 4:52 pm

montucky - You really took good advantage of a lucky monent! Great photo!04/17/2009 - 10:21 pm

Preston Surface - Geez... you traveled such a long distance south to get away from the snow and what do you find? However, it is a very beautiful picture.04/19/2009 - 12:37 am

amuirin - oops. *retracting my 'vistas' nag*04/21/2009 - 5:56 pm

ybonesy - Funny comment from Preston. 8) We've had some chilly nights and mornings. Every morning we get up and peer out at the pasture. Did it freeze?? But today and yesterday it hit 80. Whew. Too hot.04/24/2009 - 6:00 pm

montucky - Now that would be a great place to spend a little time exploring!04/16/2009 - 10:45 pm

Bo - Next stop-Arizona!04/17/2009 - 7:43 am

Barky - What a nice experience. I was in NM last year for my last trip, El Morro was pretty cool. Rugged camping though, no?? Anyway, I'm most jealous of the snowfall. I think I'm going to do some winter trips to national park sties next time, just to get a different experience.04/17/2009 - 7:13 pm

suehenryphotography - Beautiful! Looks like a wonderful place to explore and photograph.04/20/2009 - 6:19 am

ybonesy - El Morro is such a hidden treasure. We went there for my older daughter's fourth-grade assignment of taking a Family Field Trip somewhere to NM. We went to Grants (lots of great little art galleries), Banderas ice caves, El Morro, and a wolf sanctuary. It was loop. So fun. I found my last name on the wall, a soldier who I think got killed by the Zunis. I have to remember. I loved the handwriting. So old world.04/24/2009 - 5:58 pm
