Words for the Desert

rock formations in Texas Canyon, AZ
a desert shrub called ocatillo
saguaro cacti
some yuccas grow to tree-like proportions

There are no words to describe the desert. To see it is an amazing experience. One just looks and marvels.
We drove 690 miles across desert, along the border with Mexico, over mountains, through the most biologically diverse part of North America, past countless yucca plants, and into the sunset. It was the best day of the trip.



[Please note that most of the images in this post were not taken by us but were collected from the internets to illustrate our trip.]
