Desert Waterfall Sunset 2

"Desert Waterfall Sunset 2:" I was grateful that a lesser-known ephemeral waterfall in the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, AZ was still flowing when I went to visit last month. The contrast of the cool flowing water with the rugged desert landscape, dotted with saguaros and ocotillo paint an uncommon scene. As a bonus, I was thrilled to also see some beautiful scarlet monkeyflowers on the flanks of the falls. One magical thing still photos can't share that I experienced is the wonderful sound of the canyon frogs that began their chorus here exactly as the sun had set, followed by the long hike back in the dark!
