Photo Of The Day - Arizona Desert
The Arizona desert seduces. When I was a kid, my grandparents collected a magazine called Arizona Highways, which featured honest-to-God, awe-inspiring vistas of the Grand Canyon State. (As you can see from the link, the periodical still exists.) I wouldn't get to Arizona until I was 25, barreling down 93 from Las Vegas and crossing into New Mexico quickly. Those highways didn't look like the highways of Arizona Highways. It would take a few additional visits before I got to see the intense beauty that filled the pages of my grandparents' back copies.
Flickr user Styggiti captured this curious geological object on a hiking trail in Camp Creek Falls, Arizona.

Good pic. Only would have been better if taken when the bushes in front of the Rock were in bloom. (The darker plant should have yellow flowers. The lighter is Desert Broom, which has white fluffy flowers.) It also needs a Saguaro Cactus in the shot. But, from the location, it probably is too far north for the Big Cactus.
