Saguaro Cactus

The Saguaro Cactus captured in the desert north of Phoenix Arizona.
Spent a few days in Phoenix visiting family. My brother and I went out into the desert as I wanted to explore the area.
The timing was perfect as you can tell, the overcast skies kept the temperatures down in the mid 70's allowing us to explore the desert without coming down with heat stroke.

The day after a beautiful rain has done wonders for my favorite spot on the mountain!

I forget that, while everyone probably recognizes the iconic #SaguaroCactus, not everyone has ever seen their skeletons. Shocked yesterday when my 20-year old AZ native eldest child didn’t realize this was what they look like.
