Boquillas Canyon

Down near the Rio Grande. The vegetation is very green there, even with all the gross stuff that gets pumped into the river at various locations upstream.

Sunset in the canyon

Lost Mine Trail

		Casa Grande from below
Desert oak leaves, no more than a couple inches long and very leathery. Tiny acorns, too.	Maples across the canyon whose leaves were changing colour	A big old rock, probably about 30 feet tall, near the top of the trail
Two roadrunners. The one on the left appeared to be a juvenile.

Juniper Canyon Trail

Two landscape shots taken from about the same spot. Big agaves in the picture on the left.

A purple pricklypear cactus, much cooler than the more-abundant green varieties

Santa Elena Canyon

A Palo Verde tree, which does photosynthesis in its (green) bark when there hasn't been enough rain to justify keeping its leaves
