Description
Arizona's Saguaro National Park (one of 3 National Parks in Arizona, usa), located in Tucson, is a great place to view the distant Catalina Mountain Range. It was "A Winter's Day," and a lot of low lying clouds hovered over the mountains.
The city of Tucson is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Catalinas to the north, Tucson Mountains to the west, the Rincon Mountains to the east, and the Santa Rita Mountains to the south. Living in a small community outside of Tucson, I am able to see all four mountain ranges from my home. I have had many photography opportunities to capture their grandeur.

Paying a revisit here. The light on the Catalinas mixed with some shadow just looks so cool. Representative of the beautiful winters here!
Janet Marie replied:
Yes, the desert certainly does takes on a different look in the winter. Contrasting my photography of it during the monsoon season, when it becomes so green. Although the Catalinas are always great. Thank you Chance for your delightful words expressed about this. I really appreciate it! Janetđź’•
Chance Kafka
gorgeous shot! Love the shadows on those amazing peaks and the clarity in them - the rain or snow or whatever happened must have cleared the air to make them look not so far away!
Janet Marie replied:
The Catalina Mountains look pretty close when standing in this spot of Saguaro National Park. A great place to be to view their grandeur. We went there for the sole purpose to capture the clouds hovering over the Catalinas and Rincon Mountains. Thank you for your lovely expressions. I really appreciate it. Janetđź’•

PRETTY AWESOME Janet, falling top to bottom, the colors singing with the cool distant cerulean blue skies complimenting the warm purple mountains and tangled cloud cover, sitting picturesque beyond the shadow darkened framed cacti & fauna of the desert !!! +fav
Janet Marie replied:
Thomas! Wow, what lovely thoughts shared about my artwork. Poetry in motion. Thank you for that! Winter in the Sonoran Desert is bleak, but the mountains and clouds provide such a beautiful backdrop. I am smitten with clouds, and specifically ventured out to capture the atmospheric beauty, as they kissed our gorgeous Catalina Mountain Range.
