This acacia shrub is in
the legume family.
It has red bean pods.
I have a thing for dead
trees.
I think they are beautiful.
The hole in the upper left
of the embankment is
a pack rat's nest.
The lines on it swirl.
This amazing cactus germinates
on top of the ground & are
sheltered by a "nurse tree."
This is a dried slice from
a saguaro cacti.
The saguaro is the cactus that
cowboys in the movies hack
open & drink water from
with ease.
Water is found in the flesh of
the saguaro.
It is acidic & will make you
sick if you drink enough to
quench your thirst.
Eric goes in for a hug
with a saguaro.
The ranger shows the group a
saguaro with many, many arms.
It was damaged fairly early
in it's development, but
instead of shriveling &
dying off, new buds formed
which eventually became arms.
