Blazing heat! Along the rim of the canyon we alternating walking, until it is just too hot, and driving, as an excuse to cool down in the a/c. The steep walls mean that with some (a lot maybe...) of luck you can look across to or down on the Saguaro Blooms.

And of course other things catch our eyes too - huge prickly pear flowers, birds braving the heat and strange growths.

2021 May Growing Together
2021 May Growing Together: A bit hard to see but an Ocotillo appears to have been trapped behind the odd Saguaro growth and still living and growing. Charles Miles. 5/12/2021.
