A walk in the desert

The weather has turned cold as predicted but that didn't stop Sharleen and I from taking a three mile desert hike. Someone in Minnesota (Ella) wanted some cactus pictures so we set out to find some. Finding cactus in the desert is sort of like finding eggs in a hen house. We had no trouble spotting the little (or big) rascals.

This old Saguaro cactus was standing alone so we thought he needed company.

I stood by the old guy just to give Ella a feeling for how big he is.

He's been around a long time as you can see by the bottom area which has been ravaged by birds and the weather.

On the way home we found this barrel cactus along the road to the park.

Back at the park we even found some cactus at the office. So.... yes Ella, There are cactus in Casa Grande. Hope you liked the pictures.
