Summer Saturday evenings are back on at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. This weekend my daughters and I made the trip over, and though it was a bit chilly (relatively speaking), we still got to shine some scorpions and see lots of other critters and plants.
Here are a sampling of colorful evening abstracts from the visit. Be sure to view the full gallery of 36 photos, as well.
