Crown of Beauty
May 28th
The saguaros are in full bloom this week — an annual event in the Valley. The crown of silky white flowers make me smile; even these desert warriors like to feel pretty once in a while.

I love them! What an amazing creation.
I really haven’t seen them THIS in bloom before. Driving up towards Payson last weekend was insane. And the ocotillo is all in bloom right now too. The forest floor up on the rim is full of little yellow and white flowers. Lovely.
Beautiful! You know how much I love the cacti of AZ!
……and you “even” got all the little critters too……….

Very pretty!
Nice job cara. I have been meaning to photograph some too but now I can just look at your pics.
I’m dying to see Arizona…your photos are always so enticing. Think we should swap houses…I’ve got the beach and a 1 1/2 hr drive to NYC!
Great photos! I agree, everything seems so much more in bloom this year! All that rain.
Were you on my walk this morning at o’ dark thirty? They are beautiful.
Reaffirming that a little flair can jazz up any outfit. Long live accessories.
Is the round hole from birds do you think?
I love all the bees in the photo!
Beautiful! Timely, because on Friday I talked to someone who has never seen a cactus in person! It reminded me that sometimes I take the desert beauty for granted.
