These are spines on a Saguaro cactus. They protect the cactus from being eaten by animals and provide insulation from heat and cold. Saguaros can grow to be over 40 feet tall and have a lifespan of 100-200 years.

    What a great close up!  The lighting works well and the danger of the spines really stands out.

    Fantastic shot. I just love these cacti and how they grow so big, provide homes for little birds and other animals.  They’re very cool.  Love your macro.
