This is guest-blogger Bob. The Sonoran Desert is also my passion. I volunteer on my day off in the botany department at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and also get involved with cactus rescues for the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society. I propagate many of my own cacti, and generally spend much of my free time moving dirt from one place to another. I look forward to having more time for it when I retire.
The aftermath of yesterday’s daylong slow rain, plus an overnight low in the ‘30s, was heavy fog this morning. I was inspired to take the following pictures from Debbie’s and my yard:
 |
| Dripping wet mesquite |
 |
Cholla, small Organ Pipe cactus
(note long green snake, possibly a Boomslang) |
 |
| Small Senita (2 types), Sonoran galloping cactus |
 |
| Barrel cacti |
 |
| Yucca |
 |
| Cholla Forest |
As far as I can tell the snake you identified is not a Boomslang but is in fact a Coral snake that I painted green for St. Patty's day. I wondered where he went.
ReplyDeleteNice post Bob! You've got to love a foggy day in Tucson!
