Many Arms of Saguaro Cactus - a photo on Flickriver

            A first time to really see these wonderful tree-like cactus for the first time. A volunteer park ranger had mentioned taking the Catalina Highway and enjoying the ride up and through the Coronado National Forest with its amazing views and settings to take in. So just after landing in Tucson, a friend and I headed out to enjoy it. So I found a roadside pulloff not long after starting the ride that had a cluster or grove like appearance with many around. What I later noticed during post-processing was the many shapes and sizes of the arms. One in particular I counted having eight!
