Gumbo's Pic of the Day, February 10, 2015: Arizona – The sunshine, the red rock desert and the survival of the fittest

 DSC_0116-001

 

Recently I attended a medical course in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Using one afternoon,  a few late afternoons plus evenings, I got chance to explore the area around Phoenix and Scottsdale.   The clear sky and bright sizzling sunshine, the dry hot weather and the wild red rock desert, as well as the variety of tough cacti species particularly the amazing gigantic Saguaro cactus, really teaches me again the rule of  “survivor of the fittest”. 

 

See few pictures of Arizona's hot sun, desert, vareity of cacti and the famous Sedona red rock country.

We always think of lifeless deserts but when you get in there its amazing what you find.

Some wonderful cactus pictures too.

I enjoy getting close to those layers of rock. The colours and the shells.

A million years of history.

And no one saying "Don't touch"
