I can not pass saguaros without admiration. The ground color makes this even more admirable.

Looks great - I'm sure it looks even better at full resolution. I'm guessing this isn't around for very long each year?

Beautifully rich and lush. Will hate to see the browns and snakes next week....but at least the green stayed around for awhile.
