*Saguaro you?

*pronounced something like "suh-wah-ro"
There has been TONS of precipitation in Tucson and the surrounding areas this winter. I mean A LOT! Granted, we've only been here for 3 winters so far, but we've never seen this much rain and snow this time of year. When a friend came to visit, it gave me the perfect excuse (like I needed one!) to go to Saguaro National Park--east side here in Tucson, again. The pictures say the rest...

you can see through Cholla Cacti when the flesh decays away. Pretty cool!

notice the Prickly Pear cactus growing out of the side of the Saguaro Cactus. That was probably about 50 feet up the cactus!

Ocotillo
my favorite desert plant!
