“ An Old Survivor ”
This saguaro cactus is unusually shaped, at least compared to the younger saguaros in the bottom right of the photo. Some of its arms have fallen off, and the others slant downward, possibly a a result of occasional freezing temperatures. There is discoloration and scarring. But it has survived ...

Then I noticed the lens you were using! This specimen must be pretty big!

    Living part-time in Tucson, I can totally appreciate your beautiful photo! A. wonderful choice. Our saguaros are amazing and especially so for their longevity.
