Arizona Landscapes
We have some seriously weird plants down here. Forests are mixed with mesquite trees and cactus as far as the eye can see. There’s some grasses to be found, but there is strikingly little variety as far as most of the plant life goes. What there is is somewhat bizarre.
It’s always hard to get pictures down here – the light is so bright, it just washes everything out all of the time. Luckily, it was pretty cloudy yesterday so I got a few decent pictures. There’s a few big mountains on the south side of town, so if you can survive the bumpy drive up, you can get a great view.
After wandering around down here for a year, I’m starting to suspect that Dr. Suess didn’t make up everything in his books (and perhaps spent some time in southeast Arizona):
