Sonoran Desert Reflection in Rain Puddle

Rain Puddle Reflection

Saguaro National Park

It’s not often I get the opportunity to photograph the desert after a heavy rainfall which offered puddles and perfect reflections of prickly pear and saguaro cacti.

We visited one of the more isolated areas of the eastern part of Saguaro National Park. We hiked the Mica View Trail,  which offered great views of the Tanque Verde Peak and Mica Mountain, but I was most fascinated by the puddles and spent a fair amount of time sprawled on the damp desert floor fiddling with my camera and different angles..
