I am so lucky to live in Arizona with its gorgeous sunsets. You can see the hues of purple and orange radiating and backlighting the tall saguaro cacti.You can see from the silhouettes that these saguaro are laden with fruit.
I will be sharing more about the Saguaro fruit soon as I was fortunate to go on quite an adventure to pick the fruit with Tohono O'Odham Native Americans in the desert South of the Valley, near Tucson.
Tomorrow I will show a Saguaro with fruit and a flower. I will complete the series on the entire process of Saguaro, the fruit, the flower, and the results soon but for now I want you to see what the Saguaro cacti look like at night and up close during the flowering and fruit season.
