One of my photographs won an award in the Emirates Natural History Group Inter-Emirates Weekend Photography Competition – in Category 2: Flora in the Wild.  The picture was of “Flowers, Tribulus arabicus, in the desert”. The photograph was taken on 13 June 2024  in the desert near Bida Al Mutawa in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi emirate.
