Thanks to lightning for the Saguaro cactus, bushes and leafless bushes. Also, a thanks to garypoulton for the balloon and a friend for the shack.

I hope they don't crash land Nice scene, but I am glad I'm not out there. I like your surfacing and colors overall.

What a life!  I'd love it.

Is this a reproduction of an original place?  If not, you did a fine job making it fairly close.  A bit more randomness within the objects such as the cactus and plants would make it much better.

Thank you all for visiting and your comments.

@ calico; it is not a reproduction of another place; but, just a place residing in my head. Regarding the plants, I could not be selective (except with the individual objects) as to where the populations fell while making the scene. I've got to get used to using the painter shader.

I like it.  Just find some ways to play with the Painter Shader.  I'm sure it might look even better.

I really like the surface color variations - this was done quite well.  I agree with Calico, the cacti are a bit too regular in size and shape, though we all know that's hard to resolve in TG2 at this point.

Overall, great work!
