Spring has arrived here in the Arizona desert. Here are a few shots from the Superstition Mountains in Apache Junction, Arizona. Flat Iron Peak is a widely photographed and well hiked landmark. Legend has it that The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine is here. Every year people search for it and some have died trying to find it.
I didn't find any gold but I did find some wildflowers in bloom. A guy
right in front of me found a rattlesnake and took some photos with his
camera. I looked for a snake to photograph but didn't find any.

| Cholla Cactus |
Theses cholla cactus needles are sharp. I stepped on one and it went right through my shoe and into my foot. Hey, better than a rattlesnake bite.
