Saguaro National Park Visit

We did another hike in Saguaro National Park yesterday. On the way to the park, about 1/2 a mile from our place we saw this Black Tail Jackrabbit. He seemed to want his photo taken, so I obliged. We hiked the Loma Verde, Squeeze Pen, Pink Hill, Loma Verde loop (3.8 miles). Once again we were greeted with an array of beautiful flowers. I have taken quite a lot of Prickly Pear cactus flowers. But, the one here (second photo) particularly caught my eye and cried out for a photo. Wow, was I glad. I love the color contrast. It is my new favorite cactus photo. The last photo is of a Fairy Duster. The flowers were mostly a little past their prime. But this one flower was still in fine form and provided a nice photo.
