In the middle of the Sonora Desert, a few miles outside of Tucson AZ,
sits The Saguara National Park

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the Sonora Desert Museum.

 

 

We spent a luxiourious few hours in the "dry"
morning heat, letting the desert wrap itself around us.

 

 


 

 


The Museum offered the desert to us
up close and personal as we strolled along paved and manicured paths.

 

 

 

 

 

With spring in full bloom the birds were nesting all around.

 


A Cactus wren returns to her thorny nest.

 

 

 

 

As vast and desolate as the Sonora Desert is,

we found a peace here amongst the Saguaro.

 

 

 

 

The Saguaro have stood for hundreds of years.

Imagine if they spoke to us.
