Scenic Sunday with cactus
I thought I’d show you something unusual. Here is a view of saguaro cactus near Tuscon, Arizona. I love the way they grow sprinkled in the landscape, a real forest! Remember, each of these is huge, maybe 30 feet or ten meters tall, and can be a hundred years old if not older. For more scenic photos everywhere, click HERE.
Thought I’d add a link to some info about these cacti HERE.
That is a lovely SS image. I’ve hiked around some of the desert hills in Arizona and I too find the cactus plants fun – as long as you don’t embrace them. Greetings from sunny California.
Hello Sara:

Your photo is beautiful. I’m sure that in person, those 20′ cactus are awesome!
This is truly grand! Love the shot so much!
wow! what a lovely place, natural beauty of nature, love it.
I remember the first time I saw them when I went to Arizona, so impressive and huge. Lovely shot.
how funny! i love how they are randomly in the picture. so organic.. and the big boulder in the background is the best.
wonderful to see a completely different landscape than I have here and so beautiful.
What a sight! I would never have guessed that they were over 20 feet tall! Next to that big boulder (I was going to call it a big rock but somebody else referred to it as a boulder & thought that sounded better 😉 they look so tiny!
Isn’t it great how old they are. I am glad that a lot of them have stood the test of human time.
What a beautiful cactusscape with great background.
Awwwww…you were in Arizona! We go there frequently, even though we already live in the desert! Don’t you just love the saguaros? Have you been to the Saguaro National Monument? Come see my desert blog: http://desertswest.blogspot.com/
Nice! Looks like Picacho Peak State Park.
