Saguaro Cactus Blooms

With all the other cactus putting on such a good show this year, I am surprised our Saguaros are not as full of blooms as past years. Another thing I’ve noticed is a lower population of bees. This image was captured a few years ago.

Saguaro Blur

I haven’t shaken my camera yet this month so here’s a blurry shot of a Saguaro. I used Singh-Ray’s Vari-ND to get a slow shutterspeed. It’s a pricey filter but if you like smooth waterfalls or photos like this Saguaro, it’s invaluable.

Faces, Faces, Everywhere!

Pareidolia is an affliction I don’t mind being afflicted with and since the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is filled with faces, my affliction is working overtime 🙂  Anyone want to admit they remember the cartoon character on the right?!

The White Winged Doves have been sitting on top of our Saguaros for a couple of weeks just waiting for the fruit to ripen but they’re not the only ones who love the fruit as evidenced by this Gila Woodpecker.
