Something Green in the Desert


On one of our trips I saw a mesa well off the road so we stopped and I ran into the desert to get a better view of it with a nice foreground.  On the way back to the car I saw this small tree with green foliage, which stood out from all the brown around it - the brown plants and the brown desert soil.  And then when I was composing this image, did I notice the mountains in the distance that made this photograph perfect, because I have a foreground, a middle ground and, with the mountains, a background.  Perfect.

The desert is so brown and yet there are so many colors - the green in the plants and the grays in the mountains…Betsey

The landscape is beautiful. I love the colors and the cactus in the background is so interestingly shaped. The mountains complete the photo! Great scenery. Trace

I am so glad you all appreciate this amazing landscape. Thank you all for your comments. Thanks Linda for your comment. This landscape is so different to "see" in and photograph in than the landscapes we are normally accustomed to.
