Scenes from the Desert at Linda Vista Trailhead

Before the rain and rainbow suprisingly appeared, Mark and I took a nice hike at the east end of Linda Vista Blvd., where Pusch Ridge dominates the background.

Don't these rocks look like turtles with their heads tucked into the sand?

 

Can you see the tiny bird in the palo verde branches, just to the left of the saguaro?

 

 

Look at this healthy saguaro, four arms upraised to the sky.
