Went for a couple days drive through the desert with my parents this weekend. Didn't really have much time to herp, but I found some awesome lizards and and the blooming desert is just way too beautiful not to share! :)

Very nice. Loved all the habitat shots. The Sonoran Desert is certainly a beautiful place, especially when it is in flower. The Greater Earless was a real beauty!
