Here’s another nursing tree - I love the richness of the forest and the way it nourishes itself.

February in Arizona - quintessential desert shots of cactus, small mountains, and beautiful sunsets. This is all year round, but feels so bright and crisp in February!

We usually focus on the flower, but the inherent beauty of the beginning of the rose bud’s intricacy is fascinating.

Rivers and Horses
February in Arizona is a great time to head out to the Salt River to see the gorgeous desert in bloom and perhaps catch a glimpse of wild horses.

While this was a man made field of cactus for sale at Home Depot, I loved the depth of all these prickly plants together. In nature they are a bit more scattered apart.
