Description
It's a September Saguaro Sunset Silhouette, at Saguaro National Park! Located in Tucson, Arizona (USA). I caught those last rays of the sun, a sunburst just peeking through the arms of the Saguaro Cactus. All them with open arms as though they are "REACHING FOR THE SUN!"

Sunrises and sunsets must be enjoyed as long as possible, as long as they last. They are unique, one of a kind, meant to be savored, never to be seen in that configuration again.

Excellent and expressive silhouettes here.. nice timing to get the sunburst just like that, Janet! The towering cloud adds some nice intrigue as well. I sure do appreciate these fleeting moments of the setting sun in the desert. Featured in Arizona

Wow. That is so dramatic and powerful. I love how the clouds are just absolutely glowing with red energy above those beautiful silhouettes. Incredibly well done, my artBUDette. That is an amazing image and so perfectly composed. You are a pure genius with that camera of yours. L/F Featured in American Desert Southwest.
Janet Marie replied:
Jane dear! How absolutely lovely of you to express such marvelous words about this. Thank you so much for that, and for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE, in your delicious Art Group, "AMERICAN DESERT SOUTHWEST!" I have missed our wonderful talks. My creative moments have not been what I would like, as I am continually distracted. I have lots of photography to post, just need some Janet time to do it. I apologize it has taken me so long to thank you and show my deep appreciation for this special recognition of my photographic works. So delighted that you like it and have chosen it as a favorite too! Always special. I don't know about pure genius with the camera, that is so nice of you to say, but it is great to have someone of your talent think so. Sending love and hugs your way, đź’•Janet (artBUDette)
