Beautiful pictures!! I love the composition of the last one. On a side note, when is the best time to visit Phoenix and see the desert bloom? My mom was just talking about vacationing in Arizona and wanted to see the desert bloom. Thanks.

Stephanie-

This is the year to visit. Wild Flowers are in record numbers this year because of late rain showers. There is actually grass growing in many parts of the desert and places like South Mountain are greener than I have ever seen them in the last 10 years.

The wild flowers will probably only last till the end of March as then we will be back into the 80's with very little percipitation.

Thank you- you are welcome anytime. Problem is deciding how much you are going to try and see.
