Description
Was out flying in some remote back country in Arizona with a friend in his light plane last Saturday. This is a glimpse of the Verde (Green) River in the Verde Valley.
This part of the valley is in the Sonoran Desert. If you look closely you will see Saguaro Cactus all over...you know the kind we all used to see in the old cowboy movies:)

Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Nice shot Bill. The cactus are the same ones they have in Aruba.
A good zoom and you can see the cacti you mentioned Bill.
What a great view, I really like all those different greens.
It must have been fun flying over such a wonderful place.
Most beautiful shot! I love it out there!
This is so beautiful. I love this area. I used to live in Cottonwood back a loooong time ago. Thank you for sharing.
I spent a lot of time near the Verde Valley when I lived in Phoenix. I love this shot; shows places I sure never got to. What an amazing trip you and Tara are having and how very cool to be travelling it with you via your fotos!!
Wow, Bill, how thrilling, stunning view!! x
What a great shot !! I love to fly too, gliders and light aircraft :) but I hate heights LOL ladders and cliffs etc, in a plane or glider I'm fine and very happy :)
Great you could fly and focus on photography for a change. I like the colors here. The river looks so cool and inviting (considering what the afternoon temperature can be!). And I don't have to look carefully to see those cacti - they sure stick out! Beautiful, as long as I don't have a bout of acupuncture with one of them! I wonder what your next image will be? You seem to come up with all kinds of goodies! Keep up the good work! :-)
WOW! What a view. A realy Jawdropper.

What a beautiful view, Bill! I love a good aerial shot, and this is a beauty! I'm hoping to be able to get some aerial photos and videos soon - without leaving the ground myself...

Nice shot Bill, and nice to see all the saguaros too! What a difference a little water makes.
Superb looking place to explore! Great capture Bill!
Beautiful! It's easy to see how the valley got its name. Such a fine shot!
Great view Bill. Very few people see it from this perspective, unless they have an aircraft!
Nothin' like being in a plane and seeing nature from the sky. Excellent shot, Bill!
