Oh, just lovely captures. You bring back some wonderful memories of when I visited your area a few years back! Love that first shot especially.

Thank you for looking. I'm glad to bring back some good memories for you. I snapped several shots of the dove's flight from one saguaro to the next. This one was my favorite.

Great shots.....of subjects i don't get to see very often. Thank's for sharing.

Great Series of shots, you really nailed the dove, very clear and Crisp. Love the Chicada pic; Well done, very clear and lots of detail. I hope to capture some of these this year, they should be coming out soon here in Korea. the last two are great as well.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the desert. It has such a unique variety of animal and plant life. Good job!

Awesome shots...all of them. That cicada is sweet.

That first shot of the bird and the cactus is just fabulous! You really had to shoot fast but the detail is not compromised at all. Hasn't it been a wonderful season for the saguaro blooms? And how about this rain? I'm floored! Time to start hearing the cicada. That's another great shot. Their wings are just beautiful and you caught all the detail. Nice work!

These are all great. What a nice collection. That Cicada looks huge. I have never seen one in person before, very interesting. The yellow flower is gorgeous. I like that it is shot from the side, nice perspective. The bird is awesome! Great crisp capture.
