Under the cloudy sky with thick gray patches, rugged mountains rise from foothills covered with green shrubs. In the foreground, a variety of desert plants, including chollas and saguaros, grow amid brown grasses and short bushes.

#SaguaroSaturday 🌵

A few saguaros are visible, but I see something similar to Organ Pipe Cactus🤔
I took this photo in the Mesa area, and I don’t think Organ Pipe Cacti are native here. Planted or could it be something else?

A view of desert valley from the mountain side. The slope has Saguaro standing everywhere under the blue sky. The valley below has a small but well shaped hill.

Freezing cold next week 🥶
No fly fishing for sure, which seems alright since I should be focusing on writing a grant with the deadline approaching🤔
But I get easily distracted by desert views stuck in my head 😏

I am still recovering from my recent vacation in Arizona, trying to adjust back to Philly's freezing weather 🥶Then, my wife surprised me with this pair of socks😅

A view of the Phoenix area from a desert mountain. The city stretches out below with mountain ranges in the background. The sky is light purple and pink above the mountains, turning to gray blue high above. There is a single Saguaro standing on the rugged slope at the right side.

Last week in Phoenix, AZ

Cold here in PA - my son’s #soccer game in MD got canceled today because they received two inches of snow❄️🥶
But I can't even imagine how hard it is for kids in #Arizona during the summer🥵🤔

About two weeks in AZ - best conditions for desert hiking 😊
Coming back to PA last week, my son’s soccer practices have been all cancelled due to severe weather 🥶
