We have a lot of them in the residential neighborhoods around me. That was from the 50's and 60's when people could just go and rip saguaros out of the ground and put them in their yard. Sadly, each summer is more brutal here, and lots of them have toppled. Very sad end to a beautiful cactus.

Fantastic shot, Jake! Have a great day and send your heat to the mountains haha

Hey, thanks! Only wish it were so easy to send the heat over 😂

thewildrx.bsky.social•89 days ago

Haha for real.

I caught these ones with the sun at their backs. I imagine them with the cactus version of earbuds popped in their invisible succulent ears, listening to John Denver sing "Sunshine on My Shoulders Makes Me Happy". 2/2
