This is Sabino Creek at the top of the dam. The water level is low for this time of year, but at least there was enough for reflections. I was fascinated by the cactus in the distance.
When I went by the dam a couple of days later, I found the cactus still reflecting in the water, but it wasn't as sunny as when Jen was with me. See how subdued the colors are below:

Lovely reflections, especially the cactus.
Sunny :)
The photos are excellent as always, Diane! I love the reflections in both images.
You always look for reflection. Have you seen yourself being reflected? It must be a real fun!
This is your best post ever. :D ha!
Headed out for my morning walk now...
Marvelous reflections, even the second one. Guess I really need to get down your way for a true desert fix.
Great photos, lovely reflections. I like the second photo especially the reflections of the cactus, it is bigger than the first one.
Happy weekend Diane.
A desert and water! An odd combination. Those are saguaros? Mine will never look like that - they say they grow about an inch a year. Yours must be quite old!
Great shots, with beautiful reflections. I love the cactus, which we don't have in my part of the country. The first shot enlarged is gorgeous.
Great post Diane... The reflections in the water at the top of the dam are beautiful.
Love your header also.
Hugs,
Betsy
Great shot.. very nostalgic. Love it. Visit my rainbow also.
The reflection of a saguaro in water is not an everyday catch! :)
A very nice reflection.
Have a nice weekend!
What a difference a few days can make!
Oh, I love the reflections, so clear!
very nice shots!
happy weekend!
That cactus reflection is wonderful!
I like the horizontal composition (and the saturated colors) of the first.
Lovely fall colors in the middle of winter!
Great lighting on the reflection, too!
These are really great and the cactus is fantastic. Wow!
Love the first reflection, more so because of the colour of the leaves - gives the image great dimension!

I've never seen cacti that big! Fantastic! Lovely reflections too.
Happy weekend!
Those pictures are gorgeous! Very nice captures! You must have a great camera.
Diane, these are a dream!
The cactus look like,as if they are behind a screen. The place is different.
Both are beautiful reflections and seem unusual for the desert where most reflections tend to be 'mirages' ... I do love seeing your world shared so beautifully.
Hugs and blessings,
These are beautiful reflections. The cactus is really spectacular and makes for such an interesting reflection. Wonderful! Kathy
I love how the arc of the tree in the first photo almost touches its reflection. The cacti, seen beyond the branches of the tree are almost ghostly, the reflection is clear. Lovely photos.
OOh, I like the first photo very much
Wonderful reflections and colour. Love the cactus.
Smiles
