Grapefruit
A grapefruit ripens slowly at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.

The Shopper
A shopper returns home after an early-morning visit to the mercado in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México.

Song
Sunrise in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
The song of a dove
slips through some tangled branches
toward the rising sun.
