Description

Taken yesterday afternoon just up the hill from where we have had our motorhome parked for the past two weeks. The mature saguaro cactus nearby range in size from 10-20 feet in height. They are particularly pretty in the late afternoon sun.

This is a very mature Cactus... somewhat obscene as well, at least from this POV

I remember being told how long it takes for one of these arms to grow....but I can't remember the answer! A long time....

Looks like a large hand with an even bigger finger pointing to the sky. Excellent shot Bill and thank you for your advice - much appreciated.

You captured the light beautifully Bill, the top half of that cactus looks like it's spoiling for a fight as for the lower half I make no comment LOL

"Hands up!" "Er, OK, which ones?" Sorry Bill, I just couldn't help it, so many arms. They are beautiful and you got it very right with the lighting. The spines look like a thin fur coat sticking out from the skin. Also, there's a hole in the upper arm, suggesting a bird has its nest inside. Did you see any flying in or out? Keep up the good work! :-)

An exquisite shot, Bill! The way the sun lights this scene is gorgeous! That looks like a huge old cactus - I'll be he could tell some stories if he could speak...
