Shadow Shot Sunday 2: Thorns

Shadows nestle among the thorns of a barrel cactus at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.

Ruby Tuesday Too: Cactus Blossoms
Blue Monday: Barrel Cactus

Barrel cactus, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
High above the cactuses in the clear blue sky
Winter rainclouds sometimes come, sometimes multiply.
Not today, however, there’s not a cloud in sight;
Perfect for the cactuses: hot and dry and bright!

Blue Monday: Cactus Woman

Detail from a wall of mosaics, Ajo, Arizona
Cactus Woman has nothing to lose
By walking for weeks without wearing shoes.
She’s toughened her feet on thorns and stones,
And carries the wilderness in her bones.
Her eyes are afire, her heart’s ablaze;
She loves the desert’s unsociable ways.
Cactus Woman is someone, they say,
Who’ll live in the wilderness, come what may.
