So, finding myself in a backyard in the Sonoran desert one unbearably hot summer afternoon, I decided to make a short photo adventure to capture the textures of nature in this area.

But if you're from the Southwest United States, have ever been here, or would like to know what kind of flora you're going to run into, here's a good reminder.
