Mike - the Saguaros are amazing. I had no idea they were protected, nor how long it took them to grow. I learned so much on my last trip...but what a photo!!

They are spectacular. I read up a little bit on them and was amazing to discover that they only grow about an inch a year and that saguaros with more than 5 'arms' are estimated to be about 200 years old. It's a special treat to see them.

Wow Mike love the camera angle you used when you snaped this big boy. I guess you could call then the 'redwoods of the desert'.

Mike,

Looks like a huge distorted hand, reaching from the ground like the final scene from the movie "Carrie!"
