Saguaros as far as the eye can see!

This holiday season, I visited my family in Arizona. My father-in-law also came for a visit, and it was his first time. So my wife and I took him to one of our favorite daytrip destinations, Tortilla Flats in the Superstition Mountains.

It was an overcast day, and we did get a little rain on our way though Apache Junction. It created a softer light, as opposed to the harsh midday shadows I would have gotten if it was a sunny day.

We made it as far as the paved road would take us. After it ends, it is a packed dirt road. But as I was in my parent's family sedan, we decided this was far enough.

And when I saw this angel, I knew one of my readers from Santa Clarita would love this photo.
