There's something about the Solstices, the longest and shortest days of the year, that resonates with me. In these two photos I mark the summer Solstice over two of Arizona's most distinctive plants, the Ocotillo (above) and the Saguaro Cactus.

Great Horned Owl and the lights of Phoenix

Redtail Hawk at twilight

Back to the desert,
magical after a day of rain

The moon behind a Saguaro

Another glorious sunset
