Doug, beautiful—and colorful examples you’ve shared. And I have several favorites—first, third and the last but all are well captured and edited. Glad you liked the title slide!

I left Arizona long before digital camera days so all of these are scanned from slides mostly from the mid 60s and 70s.

Alan, glad you found these great cactus landscapes, beautiful images all! I especially favored the Superstition Mountains images especially the first one! Nice to see your pre-digital images—searching your archives must bring back a lot of good memories!

A very creative one for this week John. I am on the road and so don’t have access to my collection. I probably have something I could have contributed.
Wow John! Great images to start this, and also your Theme image for this is so creative!
