| Saguaro National Park, AZ |
I am a little surprised that I never shared this photo before. I took it last April when I visited Saguaro National Park in southern Arizona. That figure with the sprayed shreds is actually a saguaro skeleton. The skeleton of a saguaro never ceases to amaze me. We love the saguaro when it is alive. We love the beauty of its verdant coloring, its shape that is plump with moisture stored over time. What is left when the saguaro dies are these desiccated remains. I love taking photos of dead trees and cactus in the desert, especially when they are left standing in the midst of present desert life. It makes for a dramatic juxtaposition. Hauntingly beautiful.
