Though this blog is being uploaded on March 23rd, these events happened around February 12th. The desert does give plenty of opportunity for photography. For these pictures I simply walked around the golf course next to the resort. Moma and Papa cacti look like a happy couple.
Above is the Marriott resort we stayed at. How can something so huge be supported with water and everything else necessary to maintain such a property and gold course and pool and spa, etc. out in the middle of the desert? It's baffling - nice but baffling.
This photograph is currently one of my most viewed photos on flickr.com. I named it, "How can you stand this." Apparently the claws on the birds toes are long enough to reach through the spines of the cactus, make contact with the actual plant and support the bird without his feet touching the stickers. Nice arrangement, but what if you miscalculate?
Just a solitary leaf with the sun shining through taken with my 80-400 VR lens at 400mm. Not bad for that kind of zoom.
