Description
đź’•Explore Saguaro National Park Travel Art, in my "Saguaro National Park - Arizona" Collectionđź’•
On the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona (USA), a small but vital part of the Sonoran Desert is preserved as the Saguaro National Park (East-Rincon Mountain District) It's one of 3 national parks in Arizona. Here the Saguaro Cactus, monarchs of the cactus world, reached out to welcome me to this surprisingly lush and diverse desert landscape.
The saguaro has been called monarch of the Sonoran Desert, 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.
I was visiting the Park to photograph the saguaro cactus blooms, but I can't pass up an opportunity to capture moments of these ALL-TOO-HUMAN SHAPES with personalities. With all arms in the air, it's a "Saguaro Up In Arms," over the constant photographers like me.

A majestic cactus! I used to have a nice collection of them in plant pots, where they could catch the sun, on my dining room windowsill, but they were just babies compared to this beauty.
Janet Marie replied:
The Saguaro cactus is quite delicate starting out, needing the protection of a nurse plant. They don’t get their first arm until they are 75 years old. Thank you Kathryn for stopping by my gallery and sharing your lovely thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it!

Another good title would have been "Holding up the Sky". I love the fluffy soft clouds contrasting well with the sharp edged Cactus.
