To do a completely different #bloomscrolling from my visit to #Saguaro #NationalPark near #Tucson #Arizona, I present the blooms of the Saguaro #Cactus itself! These are pretty hard to photograph as they are usually found on the tips of the branches, which are usually pretty high off the ground.

“First Light, Panamint Mountains” — The first sunrise light on Rogers Peak and the Panamint Mountains, Death Valley National Park.
How many times have I watched for this first light as it touches the peaks and ridges of the Panamint Mountains before working its way down to the floor of Death Valley?
