  5. Wildflower/cactus bloom in Arizona this April

    There's no visible sign of cactus blooms yet in the Sedona area. Poppies are all over the place, but the hedgehog cactus - typically the first to bloom - haven't begun to bud that I've noticed.

  8. Best Locations to Shoot the Skyline of Portland, Oregon?
