Mormon Lake

I took a photo fieldtrip today, out to Mormon Lake. Mormon Lake is one of the few natural lakes in Arizona; however, it is usually dry for a good part of year and is then called Mormon Meadow. Normally, the lake is dry this time of year, but since we got a pretty good amount of precipitation this winter, it still has some water in it. I took this photo from a cliff over the lake where there were tons of cactus tucked into the rocks, many of which were in bloom like this one.
