Cacti

See that bird sitting on the ledge? It sure does look like one to me! Maybe even an eagle! Just to make sure, I dig the telephoto lens out of my backpack, stick it on my camera and shoot away.

But it turned out to be a cholla cactus.

This is a fishhook cactus. I wouldn't want to be caught with one of those things!
And a few saguaro cacti.
They make the Sonoran desert such a pretty place.
