Dramatic Skies


Goofy I know but over time we have ended up naming some of the Saguaros on our land. This is Madala which is a term of respect for an elderly man. Madala has many battle scars where numerous creatures have made their homes over the decades. On this particular morning he was a perfect foil for the storm clouds rolling off the mountains.

Love the Saguaro and photo. Do the woodpeckers and wren live in the holes. I am hoping to see some of the Saguaro while on vacation in New Mexico. Have a happy Sunday!

Celeste, I used to name my trees, so that doesn't seem funny to me at all! I love this pic BTW!

Hi Eileen, yes the Gila Woodpeckers are the primary excavators but many other species move into the cavities like Elf Owls and Purple Martins.

Thanks JB I love photographing them, they are so dramatic.

That is because you and I are on the same wavelength Kathie :)
