When I saw "Photo 1" I asked myself: "Could this be an oriented or at least a flight-marked Canyon Diablo?" Photo #4 seems to support my guess that it may at least be flight-marked!

Some cactus is blooming. The Palo Verde trees, too. This is a great time of year in the desert, especially if we could get a little rain.

Very nice pictures Wendy (or was it Paul's), are the cactus already blooming in the desert?
