@blueberry1222 I absolutely understand..... same reaction here about the green mountains in summer and the snowy mountains in winter....so your desert and cactus are so "exotic" to me ;)
I don't know why, I love desert. My best loved trips were there: Arizona, the Death Valley, and the Sahara... This is a beautiful shot and makes me longing to go there again.
My shots are in an hours neighbourhood.
Great pic - great memories :)
