The Whetstone Mountains located in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona, are a part of the Coronado National Forest. The mountains are steep and rugged, with Apache Peak being its highest point. The foothills are covered in dense scrub, grasses, cacti, succulents, while low woody trees can be found at the higher elevations. The rising sun casts shadows across portions of the desert floor and mountain range under a magnificent blue sky. Panoramic image.

The Common Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris) is a North American species of lizard in the family Crotaphytidae.  It is distinguished by its oversized head, colorful body and bands of black around the neck and shoulders.  The black bands give it the name “collared”.  It is also known as Eastern Collared Lizard, Oklahoma Collared Lizard, Yellow-Headed Lizard and Collared Lizard.  The collared lizard can grow to 8-15 inches in length including the tail.  They have a large head and powerful jaws.  The adult males with their blue green bodies are generally more colorful than the females.  The collared lizard is mostly found in the arid, open landscapes of Mexico and south-central United States.  They are carnivores, feeding on insects and small vertebrates.  Occasionally they may eat plant material.  This collared lizard was photographed while basking on warm rocks in Homolovi State Park near Winslow, Arizona, USA.

Two specimens of the endemic Cruckshanksia montiana (which has no English or local Spanish name) growing in coastal sand-dunes in the southern Atacama Desert region of Chile. Confined to Chile, this species can exist with very little water although, in years when the desert receives rain, Cruckshanksia will comprise some of the ‘flowering desert’ flora that happens particularly when there is an El Niño warming of the nearshore Pacific Ocean. This species has vivid yellow flowers surrounded by larger, equally yellow sepals, presumably to attract pollinators, while the regular green leaves grow close to the sand.

There was a proliferation of wildflowers in March 2017 in northwestern Baja California after the prodigious rains of the preceding winter.  The 100 km stretch of desert between El Rosario and Cataviña exploded with at least 50 species of wildflowers in such abundance as to cover entire hillsides and valleys with swaths of color.  In this photo, there are California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) and California encelia (Encelia californica) surrounding two.
