Great tour of a climate very different from ours!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
The desert has such beautiful color. I need that reminder! Gorgeous!
So warm and colorful looking! We can all use that reminder, Diane! Gorgeous captures as always! Hope your week is off to a great start! Enjoy!

Hi Diane, Great pictures of Fall in your area...Seems as if different areas of the country portray Fall in many different ways, don't they????
Love your butterflies and bees... Ours are pretty much gone from here now.
Hugs,

It's hard to call the "autumn" all that blooming festival! As I came from the land of four seasons, it reminds me of spring! And that grasshopper looks amazing, so different colors.
Wonderful photos, so many interesting things to see in the desert. I am hoping to get to see the spring flowers there next year. Seeds are being sown in more ways than one :)
Such beautiful things in your world, and interesting too.
Gorgeous photos, Diane!
Such lovely pictures. I especially love the Empress butterfly or moth..which is it? Then the bee on blossoms...bees...one of my favorites.
Fall in the desert looks so lovely. My friend in Rio Verde told me they had strange weather today - even a bit of hail.Your photos are gorgeous - I especially like the butterflies and bee.
It's beautiful here....and even more so after the rain event we had this morning. I actually had the day off so I enjoyed every single drop of it!
so love your pictures Diane, especially those grasses glowing in soft light, they are so brilliant. your pictures always remind me how beautiful and diverse the life is in the desert.
The desert comes alive this time of year. As the cold and damp move into my world, I envy yours in this season.
I'm all for going back to that beauty of autumn. Especially as I woke up to snow Saturday and this morning.
The desert looks so colourful and gorgeous in its autumn dress! Lovely shots.
My post was all ready to go this morning when it was raining but as soon as I hit the post key and looked up just as the clouds lifted and snow appeared. Just my luck.
A little strange and cold for our November but happy to have some rain.
cheers, parsnip
Glorious photos all, but I must admit that I keep going back to the mistletoe one...something about it just draws me inside of it...
Excellent! Really like #3... Great lighting on the grasses.
Lovely! Butterflies, bee, flowers are very beautiful.
I was just about to say that the desert looked a bit like Outback Australia - then I saw the snow!!
There is always something beautiful to see, to photograph and to share in the desert.

love the light in the grass
So much life in the desert! I've never heard of desert mistletoe before.
Beautiful! I am in awe of your world!
oh, diane, your photos are always worth the look.
simply gorgeous!!
superb composition, too!
Somehow I cannot imagine snow in a desert, although it shouldn't be surprising since its high up on mountains.
Wow, that grasshopper photo is crazy cool!
Beautiful and colorful images of autumn.
Great October pics and one can feel the fresh air after the rain.
Nice to see the snow without having to deal with it...
What a nice collection of images of autumn in the desert!
What a fabulous series of pictures for a person who has never stopped to think about fall in Arizona. I have learned a lot from your photos tonight. The butterflies and the flowers are lovely. And mistletoe....that is too cool. The steps are beautiful. What a wonderful contribution this week. genie
Lovely, as always! You actually had snow before us - and that's okay with me - LOL! ;-)
These shots are lovely. I especially like the butterflys.
Hello! Thank You very much for so beautiful nature photos!
You've captured Autumn in your part of the world so well! wonderful photos!
