"Smile, You're on Candid Camera" or "A Surprised Saguaro" (Portrait of a Personified Saguaro)
Saguaro Cacti usually must grow to 75 years or more to produce an arm, and may grow many from then onward, often with the cacti living to be 200 or more years old.
Often these "arms" can be interpreted as noses, male appendages, and ears, depending on the creativity of the viewer's mind. It is common to see a saguaro that you could consider "human-like".
But when I saw this guy, with a huge nose, a wide-open excited mouth, a big eye, and two arms high into the air as if he were surprised, I knew I had seen the perfect personification of a cactus. He smiled for my camera after consenting to a picture. What a portrait it turned out to be.
