SUMMER BEAUTY FROM THE PRAIRIE WILDCAT CANYON TRAIL I came to a clearing

I came to a clearing with a few wildflowers in bloom and thought this would be a nice spot to set up the tripod and camera

The sun was now breaking the horizon illuminating the mist with a orange hue

A couple of beautiful young saguaro cacti are surrounded by other cactus like the prickly pear and palo verde tree at Saguaro National Park

I awakened to a heavy fog outside and was up and out the door before 5:00 am to photograph the wildflowers

These flowers can be seen throughout most of this small park
