Ocotillos (Infrared).  Ocotillos are fairly common around Sedona, but they’re pretty picky about where they grow, so you’ll typically find them only in small patches along the area’s many trails.  One good place to see them is beside the Templeton trail near the base of Cathedral Rock.<br />

These two (with a much smaller youngster between them) were showing off their leaves and blossoms after some recent monsoon rains, and my infrared camera caught them basking in invisible light.<br />

Tech info: Nikon D3200 camera (modified for infrared with a 590nm filter), Nikon 8-15mm fisheye lens at 15mm, 1/320 sec. at f/11, ISO 200.<br />
