Description
I was one of the thousands to visit the Arizona Picacho Peak State Park, as wildflowers burst onto the scene. Especially the Mexican gold poppies, the comeback kid has made its triumphant return. The wildflower season of 2019, was exploding.
While meandering up the trail that winds up the peak, views of splendor are all around me. Showing off the unique volcanic rock formations of the Picacho Mountain range, as well as the varied desert flora, especially the Saguaro Cactus, Mexican gold poppies, and splashes of lupine. The Picacho Mountains in the background.
The Saguaro Cactus is a favorite of mine, considered monarchs of the Sonoran Desert, a supreme symbol of the American Southwest, and a plant with PERSONALITY. It is renowned for the variety of ODD, ALL-TOO-HUMAN shapes it assumes...shapes, that inspire wild and fanciful imaginings.
These youths, the stage that they are, seem to have outgrown their nurse plant, the creosote, but not ready to bloom. Growing up side by side, like two friends, "Always Two-gether!"

Love it! GOR-GEE-OUS. Reminds me of the Jule Style and Steven Sondheim song written for Gypsy: "Where ever we go, what ever we do, we're gonna go through it together!" What a lovely setting for this wonderful couple, too. L/F
Janet Marie replied:
Jane! So glad you love this and feel itβs GOR-GEE-OUS. I appreciate knowing that. Thank you for your beautiful thoughts expressed. I am delighted that this brought to mind that wonderful song. Saguaros are a favorite of mine for so many reasons. So glad I could share the love and have it be appreciated. I truly appreciate you choosing this as one of your favorites too! πJanet

Great title for this great CAPture, Janet....seriously, I always enjoy your work and imaginative titles. So much more interesting than naming your images, βgreat capture 1, great capture 2, great capture 3 !!!...π.....fav / like
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you dear Jerry for your ever encouraging thoughts about my artwork. I am glad to have you in my corner and supportive of my artwork. I had in mind the song, Together, by Gwen Stefani, when I titled this. I to do a play on words in both my titles descriptions. I certainly could get more of my images if I did what you said. But that is not me. I love words, and like to be creative with them when I can. I appreciate you choosing this as one of your favorites too! ππππ
