Welcome to Ireland, land of a " thousand shades of green. " The countryside is breathtaking, from the rocky Cliffs of Moher in County Clare to
the misty Ring of Kerry in the south, to the fishing village of Howth, east of Dublin, it's an enchanting destination most any time of the year .

Both east and west of Tucson, Arizona, in the Sonoran Desert, lie the two sections of Saguaro National Park - an oasis of beauty in what first appears to be a fairly barren landscape. Protected since 1933, the giant Saguaro cactus thrives in this harsh environment. These plants, with a life span of 175 to 200 years, start life from a black seed the size of a pinhead. A visit to the park and it's visitor centers will reveal that the desert is actually teeming with life. Our visit during the latter part of April produced these photos, taken from early morning to sunset in both sections of the park.. It's a fascinating place to be, though in summer, temperatures can exceed 100 degrees. Spring is best to observe the plants in full bloom.
