Desert Foliage in Arizona





This past week my family had the opportunity to head out to Arizona and visit our family.  While there, my father patiently stopped about 10 times while traveling up the mountain to Payson through the Verde Valley which goes through Tonto Forest.  If you haven't ever had the opportunity to go through the desert, it has a beauty all its own.  I was amazed again at how beautiful and striking God's creation is in the desert.  The yellow cactus above reminded me of God's mercy to us if we only had the eyes to know what we were looking at.  The flowers on this cactus always point south.  Can you imagine if you were a traveler, back in the day when you had no compass, how helpful that would be?  God's mercies are everywhere!
