Little lanterns shine

In the saguaro shadow

Grace the desert fall.

Cold is the sky

Among close friends

Inspire with awe

Yet cast in doubt

At the new do

Looks like a crown

Tower of strength

High in the sky

A crest of thorns

Part of a hat

A rare form of vandalism has occurred in Sabino Canyon. The tops of several Saguaro Cactus have been cut off. Why would anyone do such a thing?

Capturing the Moment — Cactus Wren   1 comment

Cactus Wren — Image by kenne

Arizona’s state bird, the Cactus Wren is seven to eight inches long and likes to build nests in the protection of thorny desert plants like that of the giant saguaro cactus. It is not unusual to see the bird sitting atop the saguaro cactus, however, this was my first opportunity to capture the moment.
