Watering Station

A cattle watering station in NW Arizona and the only relief from 100 degree heat within miles. Nearby cottonwoods, tamarisk, creosote, and desert lily line a small wash. While unpacking the camera, a 4.5 foot wingspan horned owl took flight from the overhanging tree and was followed by 2 red-tail hawks. Just as well, the auto focus on pocket cams rarely agrees with the photographer.
