An odd looking large Saguaro cactus. The top splits into a Y with two branches, while lower on the body 3 branches loop around. One of these branches almost looks like an arm pointing at the camera, sort of an alien being.

A cluster of Pink Fairy-Duster flowers in bloom, with both spent and unopened buds nearby. The flowers are small and round, with long white stamens that turn to pink on the tips.

Looking towards a small mountain range with a Saguaro forest leading to it. in the foreground a collection of low desert plants may be seen including a large beavertail cactus,some ocotillo, a mesquite bush, and a yellow flowering shrub (appearing to be some sort of sunflower family).

The flowering head of a Buckhorn Cholla cactus, sporting many unopened red buds on it.

A short hike up through a Saguaro cactus forest, located at the west section of Saguaro NP. The trail is well maintained and along the way you'll be able to view a nice diversity of desert flora, with signs to help identify them. At the top of the small hill is an expansive view lined with cacti.
