Tumbleweed in Flight

I took this photograph from the passenger seat of a car while on a cross-country drive to California. The wind picked up on a stretch of Route 40 near Flagstaff, Arizona and this was the result: tumbleweeds flying around mid-air.

The initial entry into Arizona on that route is mainly desert. Once you get closer to Flagstaff, the trees begin to pop up and the landscape changes dramatically.
