Primarily, I consider myself a bird photographer, and since Saguaro cacti are magnetics for cactus wrens, capturing one was my first thought when finding this statuesque 8-armed prickly beauty.
Although the birds refused to cooperate, I knew the clouds in the distance would be a rare occurrence during our visit, and since the temperatures were higher than normal for this time of year, the landscape before me was parched, but enticing enough to afford a photo – and my first one on our trip.
