Description
It was a glorious spring day, in the Arizona Sonoran Desert. The desert becomes a showy display of color. It was no exception this day in May 2019, at the Saguaro National Park Rincon Mountain District, Tucson, Arizona. (USA). I wanted to especially capture some of the Saguaro Cactus blooms, but couldn't ignore the purple staghorn cholla cactus flowers (Cylindropuntia versicolor) blooming as well. They are quite prolific here, and just some of the wonders of this unique and fabulous National Park (one of three in Arizona).
This slender, purple stemmed cholla cactus had beautiful, vibrant yellow flowers, giving us a glimpse of its lovely, intricate design. I love the way the sun gently kisses the soft, luscious layers. Giving us a glimpse of the blooms from all sides, this perspective reminds me of the thought "You're Up Then You're Down," what's it gonna' be?
People travel here from all over the world, to visit this unique place. The only National Park in Arizona named after the Saguaro Cactus.
