Saguaro In Bloom

[MissMia]

Shot this on my way home from the Dr today.

C&C always appreciated. Thank you for looking.

Pretty. Low ISO? I like the clouds. Wish we had at least one cloud here.

^^ The clouds are great.

Don't mean to sound pervy, but the cactus in the foreground seems a bit...ummm...phallic and flaccid simultaneously or is it a flaccid phallus. :lmao:

Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Abraxas - Thanks. ISO 125. This is the first day we've had clouds in ages.

Kundalini - Only you would see that! :lmao: Thanks.

Well, I wasn't thinking the way kundalini is, like as in "phallic" and all that, but I immediately thought that this cactus is having its eye on you ... that flaccid part looks like it might be following you, staring as you went past. Like a cactus with an inbuilt security camera.

I just thought it looked like it was giving you a flower.

Thanks Corinna!

I prefer your point of view!

Nice one, MM!! Very cool to see the cactus blooming like that. The cactus is an odd shape ( :blushing: ). And the clouds poised there like that really add a nice touch

 

[MissMia]

Thanks Anty!

Actually when the arms of the saguaro fall like that it means it is dying. So it is sad to see it like that. The saguaros are 50-75 years old before they sprout their first arm! I imagine that the cactus in the background is 200+ years old.

Wow!!!! Interesting fact. And amazing to think the cactus in the shot is that old.
