Here are some of our favorite wild life shots. The desert was definitely in bloom, revealing it's beautiful side. It is amazing that such vibrant colors can exist in such a hot, desolate place. Our campsite was dotted with these little beauties.

David.. a little too close and personal with a flowering cactus. He paid for it later by having to finish our hike with dozens of invisible stickers poking him. Maybe he'll listen to his parents' warnings next time.

Ocotillo flower... almost like looking at a plant in a Dr. Suess book.

Desert iguana... This little guy came out to sunbathe while we were enjoying the mammoth rocks.

We stumbled into this diamondback rattlesnake on our hike... not my favorite critter.

Lizards are a dime a dozen at our house, but this zebratail lizard was pretty unique.

Scary! That snake looks huge! We have a couple of small garden snakes living on our driveway, and even those freak me out when they slither by.
