I've been noticing new needles sprouting on the tops of some young saguaros. It seems that the new spines start out reddish in color before turning light grey. Most of the saguaros around here are too tall to see their tops.
The barrel cacti are blooming!
Hard to see, but there's a metallic green bee crawling out of the red flower.
The two pictures below look almost monochromatic except for the dove's pinkish legs and feet.
A tiny toad on my patio:
An Albert's towhee has been visiting the backyard this month, usually hopping around in the shadows, but for a second it posed on a chair in the sunlight.

It's oh so lovely there in the desert! The barrel cacti are beautiful. You were up early for that star photo! I like the bunny relaxing and the tiny frog.
The dove wears a pair of pinkish socks.
Lovely series of images.. I love the dove and towhee. The cacti blooms are just beautiful. The sky shots are awesome.. Have a great day!
The blooming cacti are gorgeous. I also love the rabbit and the frog.
How many among us would love to have hair turn grey if for certainty spring would bring back the color we had? Lucky saguaros!
What a tiny toad!
Makes me homesick!
I really like all the rabbits that you meet around your home. When cacti bloom they are gorgeous, aren't they.
Preciosas las fotos vistas en grande.
Me encantan los cactus, tengo unos cuantos metidos en una urna de cristal.
Que simpático el sapo;))
Besos.
