Many believe the Saguaro is the world's biggest cactus. It is number two. The largest is the Mexican Cardon, which is best seen in proliferation on the Baja Penninsula. They grow up to 50 feet tall, but are not nearly as pleasing to the eye as the Saguaro.
I dislike anyone with a compusive agenda or who takes themselves seriously.
Great shot. However I thought the state bird was called a Tax Bird!
And after you have been married a year at least someone is happy to see you when you come home fro work!
Am a loyal Pentaxian myself owning the LE K-3, K-1, and 645Z. I carry the K-3 on extended hikes when weight is a factor. You have chosen a fine camera!
I have always not believed in UFOs being from outer space. Assuming this video is not manufactured, it does reveal a curious sight. I agree with scientists like the late Carl Sagan that it is likely intelligent life exists elsewhere in the Universe. However, it's rather spacious out there and it seems unlikely the green men would have found earth.
I lived there for 3 years.The best advice I offer is to watch to prevent condensation forming on your lenses.Place dessicants in your camera bag. If you go from an air conditioning place to outside consider keeping your lenses in a bag and your camera in a plastic zip lock. The humidity there is always 80-90%. Condensation promotes fungus growth.
God bless Arizona for not having it. They have been threatened numerous times to comply by the Feds and gave them the old digitus obscenus.
The jellyfish has survived without a brain for over 100 million years. There is hope for much of mankind yet!
I have kept my old Tokina mirror lens for shooting the moon and the last eclipse. For these subjects, bokeh does not come into play. One must be very careful with focus however- it is a challenge even on Live View.
Outstanding photo! Are you using a black backstop?
Graham is like a sore penis; he cannot be beat.
Marvelous photo, outstanding!
It had recently rained there as evidenced by the leaves on the ocotillo on the extreme right. Great shot!
Wonder if, like Pentax who just announced the K-1ii, Sony will offer to upgrade the A7ii for those who recently bought it? Or if it is even possible for it to be done.
For $550, Pentax will upgrade the K-1 including even changing the camera label to K1ii.Say what you will, but this is customer loyalty
