Nov. 13, 2016 Super Moon Event at Superstition Mountain, Apache Junction, AZ.

Over 20 photographers turned out at our location!

99.8% full. It was not visible at 100% over the Southwest. It will be nearly full again Nov. 14th. It was very bright!

The Superstition mountains start the spring bloom. It is fabulous that a desert is so green and colorful. This was a windy early morning view from the famous Apache Trail.

 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

A hummingbird comes in for a landing on the giant saguaro blossoms. On the very top of the cactus, the blossoms look like a spring straw hat with flowers to me. Many people consider the saguaro as the monarch of the Sonoran Desert. Saguaros flowers blossom in a precisely orchestrated sequence to satisfy needs of birds, bees, bats and other creatures that feed on them.

 

It is a challenge to photograph the blossoms as the saguaro can be up to 25 to 35 feet tall.

  

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

There are signs of spring along the famous Apache Trail. This is Canyon Lake in the early morning light. Always a wonder to find water in the Senoran Desert (even if it from a man-made dam).

 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

11-portrait mode image stitched panorama. Had to use Hugin, as ICE couldn't align this pano. I'd estimate the resulting image is a 16-18mm FOV equivalent.
