Desert Treasures

Along with Apache tears, we found a number of other desert treasures yesterday (see Hounding The Wash blog).

Signs of recent rain—itself a great treasure—included patches of green grass,

In the area were lots of multi-armed saguaro, many with curvy and/or downturned arms

I don’t know what animal left behind this tiny skeleton.  It looked a lot like a spider, but spiders don’t have bones.

Rain in the forecast.
