Palo Verde Trees in bloom with Pusch Ridge in the background.

After a wetter than normal winter, the Palo Verde Trees in Tucson bloomed profusely. The yellow blossoms are very small giving the tree the appearance of having turned yellow. Pusch Ridge, the southerly exposure of the Catalina Mountains is the backdrop.
