Sonoran Sun

“The desert, when the sun comes up. I couldn’t tell where heaven stopped and the Earth began.” -Tom Hanks

Vast skies over the desert seem endless in their visual delights. As the sun rises and sets the vibrancy held within seems more intense…shimmering, almost dancing in tune with the silhouettes of grand Saguaros far below. Golds, oranges, and reds tint the desert foliage as warm light caresses far and wide. These incredible sentinels only grow in the Sonoran deserts of Arizona, northwestern Mexico, and southeastern California. The Saguaro is one of the most cherished icons of the Sonoran Desert, growing up to fifty feet high. The largest and most majestic can be over two centuries old!
