Arizona DP Theme Day - Sunsets

The Daily Photo blogs in Arizona have decided to do an Arizona theme day on the 15th of every month - for this month, the theme is sunsets - I caught this sunset during soccer practice at Snedigar park in Chandler; I didn't enhance the colors for this pic - it looked exactly like this

Visit the other Arizona blogs and see their sunset shots here:

Partners


In the front of the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, you will notice the American flag flying alongside the Mexican flag, with the Arizona state flag underneath - I believe this is because the museum is a partnership between the two countries, as the Sonoran desert really stretches through both countries and the efforts at conservation are on both ends

Saguaro skeletons


The coyote exhibit at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum looks like it's just part of the desert; one way they camoflauge it is to use saguaro skeletons to hide the fence posts
