Cactus in a creek

Just kidding!  It’s a reflection of a cactus in the creek turned upside down so it looks like the saguaro is in the water.

    Hi Diane,
    I'm dying to check out the wildflowers this year. How are they looking in your area? We want to have a desert picnic on Sunday and we're trying to decide on a place. Any ideas?

    Hi Genny, not a big show in my area. I would recommend Picacho Peak State Park. You can check this wildflower ranger cam here.

    Nice shot! Looks so different. Perhaps you captured the cactus's dream... to soak in the water when the desert is too hot to bear ;-)
