Mirage in the Desert

In the summer it gets awfully in hot in Arizona, even at night. This mirage appears here via digital magic, but if I saw a mirage like this in the Arizona desert, I'm sure I'd wish it were real! The little yellow flowers are real. The hardy little plants grow in the desert sand near where I took this photo.

But about every five years, we see snow in the desert. Click on Next to see a spring snowfall just 40 miles east of Phoenix, in 2005.
