The Emerald Desert, Pt. #2: Magic Mountains

[Silas_Sancona]

After a wet summer, driving through a section of the mountains between Tucson and the US/ Mex. border yesterday morning makes one wonder.. " Did i somehow leave the dry and dusty AZ desert and awaken in California, after a wet late winter/ early Spring? ..Let alone somewhere in Europe, ...or New Zealand? 

After punishing drought " magical " is the only way to describe such a quick transformation. Drought, as a whole, may not be quenched ..but for now, the land is revived.


A good omen to what lies ahead.. A vibrant green, Picacho Peak..




Hello beautiful... Even the somewhat out of focus shot, haha..





Absolute Magic..  Can only imagine what the mountains and hills, in the more tropical section of the Sonoran Desert region, a couple hundred miles south must look like right now..

Amazing to see so much green in an area where you expect a dry desert.

Thanks.
