Saguaro skeletons


The coyote exhibit at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum looks like it's just part of the desert; one way they camoflauge it is to use saguaro skeletons to hide the fence posts

coyote... and a weird saguaro


They have some great animal exhibits at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum; here is the coyote exhibit - can you see him? If you click to enlarge the picture, you can probably see the wire fencing they use, otherwise it looks like they are just roaming around wild; I also like the saguaro in the background with the mysterious missing top

Crazy cactus

Found this guy when we were tromping around the desert, looking for geocaches I think, or maybe just a stop so the dog could do his thing; there was a cactus wren being pretty noisy with his nest in one of those little holes. but I couldn't find him to get a close up shot.

Mickey Mouse saguaro


We were out geocaching in the desert for the last time until late fall, when it will cool down again; there is a geocache hidden by this cactus - doesn't it look like Mickey Mouse?

I can't pick my three faves today, be back on Monday!

What a phony


This guy stands out near Cave Creek, trying his best to look like a real saguaro, and for the most part, people just drive right by and think nothing of it; look closely, and you'll see he's jut a little too perfect, and is a fake! We couldn't figure out what his real purpose was (cell phone tower? communicator with Mars?) Anyone know?

Cactus skeleton

I missed a few days due to an out-of-town trip, but we are picking back up with more stuff from the Mesa Southwest Museum - this one being the skeleton of a Saguaro cactus
