At least the thorns are straight!

Anyone up for a hike? On the second day of our trip to Arizona, we left the heat of Phoenix and headed up into the mountains. I liked the bent arms of this teddy bear cholla, framing the Superstition mountains.

  3. Great name for a mountain, Louis Lamour, wrote a couple of great stories centred on that area. Who would have thought of Cholla as a frame for a photo, beautiful.

  8. Nice shot the way the cactus frames the mountains. Quite a switch from the snowy mountains to the warm desert!

  10. This plant is gorgeous! I've never seen anything like it before and as Tammy said, the perfect frame for that majestic mountain.
