Cool pics Terry, thanks for sharing. Glad you can get out and enjoy the outdoors. Just found out I can't go fishing on April 1st because the state is afraid too many people might get too close to each other.

Best time of the year in the arid desert is seeing all those colors. We have a few cactus types around here and though not many it's fun to seek them out when they're in bloom.

I took a couple hundred pics. I have to delve through them to get another red flower. It sits on a long stalk from a bunch of pointed thick leaves near the ground. Tnx. ╦╦C

nice desert pics TerryC.
Did you do your time in Yuma and stay around or are you local? Spent a short time there way back in '73. Very hot on the flight line, no desert fauna...lol

No time at Yuma. Two tours in Vietnam and then Guantanamo Bay. My cousin has a grandchild in the Marine Corps down there at the Air Station somewhere. I posted a pic of my USMC cousin, his USMC son, and the soon-to-be USMC g-child a little while ago. OORAH! ╦╦C
