10-4-2018 More Cacti

10-3-2018 More Cacti and Spirits of Life Shawl

Watch out for scorpions and rattle snakes!

This pix of a purple cactus was not taken by DH.

It is a stock photo from the www.

Although DH did not photograph any purple cacti

They were everywhere around the Phoenix area.

The purples, greens and browns 

of the desert landscapes

made me love the colors even more

in the "Spirits of Life" southwest shawl

10-2-2018 Saguaro National Park

Saguaro cacti start growing their first arm around

100 years of age.

Some grow only one arm.

Some grow a few.

Some grow dozens.

Some grow arms on top of arms.

No one knows why or how,

It is still a mystery of the desert.
