Not an easy light angle to get a lot of details out of but this worked out well. That looks like a very well watered saguaro with that pudgy girth.

That's super cool Larry!

There are lot's of Saguaro's in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and the last time I was there I actually was giving names to all of the Saguaro I photographed as they can be very distinctive from each other.

Thanks for the comments Jim, they are appreciated as always. This was taken a few years ago and may have actually been in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument!

Be careful! It's hiding something behind it's back
Nice capture
