2016 Saguaro National Park

This series of photographs were taken in Saguaro National Park in April of 2016. The park is located (or should I say surrounded) by Tucson, Arizona and is a perfect example of the challenges associated with protecting large tracts of undeveloped land in a growing urban area.
