Sometimes the entrance to a bird nest in a saguaro appears heart shaped.
Here's a random heart on a decaying saguaro boot. A saguaro boot is the woody plant tissue of the saguaro nest cavity which remains long after the cactus dies.
It's hard to see, but after I uploaded the picture, I saw a tiny heart above the heart shaped cutout on the edge of the boot.
It's fun to discover random hearts! See more hearts at Clytie's Random Hearts.

How amazing. And all the little hearts make the cactus so special.
Brilliant. You truly have the eye for finding them.
Excellent finds, Diane! They are all amazing, but the tiniest heart is the most fascinating to me. Have a great weekend!
Definitely hearts!!!
I love the heart shaped bird nest hole. What a lovely home entrance!!!
I never see these because there is always a bird on top on the Saguaro having lunch or dinner. Must look closer.
I have been saving up my Saguaro photos but mine are of the great spine designs on the body of the plant.
What a great random heart, I have a terrific one on a Prickly Pear pad.
cheers, parsnip
i see the heart, it is awesome, and so is your feature on saguaro, beautiful photos as always, Diane.
Hi Diane, YES---I love those Saguaros... Their 'hearts' are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

There are hearts and loves every where.
That's why we are here.
Beautiful photos! I enjoyed the info also....what a pretty cactus...love the hearts.
And you are very good at finding those random hearts. That cactus fruit looks almost juicy for something in the desert.
Beautiful time of year.....things seem to diminish before the incredible burst of green and growth of the monsoon. We're getting closer and closer...can't wait!
Oh my, i LOVE these hearts!!!
