I don't have a contribution, but I do like these offerings Jim.

Here are a couple...

1) Cholla at sunrise in Joshua Tree

2) Saguaro at sunset North of Tucson

I haven't spent much time in cacti country in recent years but do have some older images from days long gone by (mid 70's). Both of these were shot in the Superstition Mountains on Kodachrome 25 film.

Thank you Ben.

Maybe the next time you swing down into the desert of Utah, you just need to swing a bit lower and get into cactus country?

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Lots of beautiful images already. Here are a few of a variety of Cacti.

I dont have a shot with cactus, but thanks to all that shared. Makes me think about my trip to Zion in October!
