Blooming Saguaro's
Driving back to PHX fro Page last Monday AM I stopped outside New Riverto try & capture some of these blooms. They are just about peaking in the Phoenix area and a bit less as yo go into the higher elevations. They come out at night and usually don't last too long.

It's good to be back in PDX---you start missing the green's down there.

That's a wonderful capture Jack, love the color palette on this. Almost looks like a still life painting!

A unique perspective for a Saguaro, which it seems like we usually see as statue like silhouettes or part of a larger scene. Very cool. I've never seen their flowers before.

Very cool Jack. This would work in the Weekly Challenge this week.
