A few pictures I took up Mt. Wrightston w/ Bill.
It is wildflower season in Madera Canyon and the Santa Rita mountains. We hiked through fields of flowers. Perhaps 1/2 of the buds weren't open yet; so, probably some time this week the flowers will be in full bloom. I am not sure what kind of flower this is.
With a little patience, I was able to take a picture of this butterfly. Or is this a moth?
We saw lizards every few steps. Although abundant, they were very skittish.
Another type of lizard.
The view below sort of looks like the painted desert.
Josephine Peak has a lot of yellow coloring from the prolific Golden Eyes.
I took about a dozen pictures trying to capture a hummingbird moth. They move so very rapidly. This was the best I could get.

Bill walking through wildflowers and burn area. I liked the contrasts.
A Monarch butterfly.
