During one of my many hikes through Arizona, I snapped this picture looking up a saguaro cactus. These are pretty neat cacti and flower from the ends of their stalks. These suckers are everywhere around Phoenix, AZ.

Here are some prickly pear cactus, which weren’t all that common in Zion NP. These cute little plants were just facing into the sun, warming their little pear shaped appendages.
