Description

Some of you may remember -> this <- shot, posted almost a year ago and taken almost 5 years ago. On this latest Tucson trip I hiked to the same spot in Saguaro National Park and took this very similar shot. Just thought the comparison was interesting. Thanks for looking. :)

I guess Tedz means he's a little prickly... watch out for those prickly Studs... deserts have a beauty all their own... love the shot!

This Saguaro grew a little strangely! I live 2 miles from Saguaro National Monument East. You have inspired me to take a drive over there this weekend!

Good to see those spiky friends, we miss them here in the Netherlands. The clouds provide a special background. Beautiful composition!

The cacti are always cool, but I also like what looks like a storm brewing in the background.

Rich, is speaking for himself of course;) A dramatic difference in mood between the 2 shots. Hope you didn't get wet...

Saguaros and a prickly pear! It's unusual to have a saguaro branch that close to the ground. It would be trivial to make sure you got the same plant the second time. That almost looks like the same plant, buried in a lot of sand. It surprised me that you can bury a good part of the cactus, and it will still thrive.
