Description
What is this giant saguaro cactus trying to cradle? Most saguaro grow their arms vertically, starting at about 70 years of age. but this specimen also has two drooping, involute arms that appear looking to hug or cradle something, or someone. Perching a beautiful model in its arms might make for a humorous photograph, but oh, how uncomfortable that would be?
