My Arizona Desert (2) - 2008-2020 - page 2
This is my desert. Arizona is beautiful, and I'm trying to show what I see when I go for a walk. Most of these images were taken within 1 miles of my house in north Phoenix. Most of those were taken within a five minute walk. Images are in chronological order. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger version.
