This last shot is of me back in the day when I was 5 feet tall, standing beside what was said to be the tallest saguaro cactus in the state of Arizona. The base of the cactus is down in a gully, so it's even taller than in looks in this picture. That's a LOT of cactus!

Although they look threatening, cacti have their own beauty and wild charm.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW, dear Sue!
Good shots
ReplyDeleteThose cacti are magnificent. Once when we were in Spain we went to a place that grew hundreds of different varieties. I bought three tiny ones and they all grew well. One had a small red flower but no matter how much the cactus grew the flower never grew or wilted. One day I had a closer look and it was a plastic one that had been stuck in the cactus!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! Thanks for sharing... It gave me a chuckle!
DeleteWe enjoy traveling in Arizona by RV during the fall and winter months when it's cold, cloudy and rainy back home in British Columbia. - Margy
