Description
The Sonoran Desert is a North American desert which covers large parts of the Southwestern United States in Arizona and California, and of Northwestern Mexico in Sonora, Baja California and Baja California Sur. It is one of the largest and hottest deserts in North America, with an area of 120,000 square miles. The Sonoran Desert is home to 60 mammal species, 350 bird species, 20 amphibian species, over 100 reptile species, 30 native fish species, over 1000 native bee species, and more than 2000 native plant species. The Sonoran Desert area southwest of Tucson and near the Mexican border is vital habitat for the only population of jaguars living within the United States.
This beautiful scene was captured at the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve is unique geologically and home to stunning geography, lush cacti forests and diverse wildlife, stretched across more than 27,000 scenic acres of Sonoran Desert. Although I would really like to keep this location secretI share it today with you!

Gorgeous point of view Lee. The movement created by those clouds helps the foreground just pop. sharing
