    Dawn I'm so jealous it isn't funny! Cocktails in that setting? Amazing!

    Do you know how old some of the Saguaro's are?

    Btw, your blog is loading much faster with Google Chrome. It still takes a bit for all the widgets but it's definitely faster than IE.

    I sure do love and miss the saguaro forest, I'm too high in elevation. The first winter I spent amongst these cactus people of the desert I was constantly astounded by their various characters. THey do seem to speak. What do you think of the spines seen in the skeleton's of the dead ones? Looks t be a beautiful place to camp. Do I see a bit of red on the tips of the ocotillo?
