Scenes from Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. This was the first time I had hiked in the park since the Tunnel Fire in 2022. In only 48 hours this wind-driven wildfire swept through the monument, burning over 20,000 acres (8,100 ha), or more than 60% of the protected park lands. It's hard to imagine a more rugged and blasted environment than a lava field or a cinder cone, but the loss of vegetation and trees made it feel even more desolate and otherworldly.

Broad-billed hummingbird / colibrí pico ancho (Cynanthus latirostris) and native salvia. Note how the flower's anthers contact the hummingbird's bill, depositing pollen to be delivered to the next salvia blossom the bird visits. At Tohono Chul, Tucson, Arizona.
