Saguaro Down

The entrance to our park had a magnificent crested saguaro at the gate. Unfortunately, it broke apart during the night...

Saguaros this size are over 100 years old

Update: Park maintenance indicated that bugs ate the base of the cactus from the inside out.

Fall Temperatures

It's finally beginning to cool down to the point that it is warmer inside the house than outside...

Rain

They were supposed to redo our street, so I parked my car where I could leave the park before it dried. However, a torrential rain brought everything to a halt.

Once again, I have lakeside property

Rainbow

Here's a rare sight in Southern Arizona...

Cactus Bloom

It seems like the wrong time of year for a cactus to bloom, but here it is...

It's amazing that such an ugly plant can produce such beautiful flowers
