Because saguaros grow so slowly, it might take 50 to 75 years for them to grow their first arms. Arms are important to them because they store extra water. After 100 years, they usually have several arms. After 200 years they have many arms. Amazing the age of these beautiful plants. This large one is probably over 200 years old.
Arms are important to saguaros because they store extra water and increase the plant's reproductive capacity. The number of arms a saguaro grows depends on how much water it receives.
Note the bird nests in the large cactus on the left.
Loved this area of the Lake District. It's a great path around a very pretty lake. Decided to make this shot a panorama as the cropped worked better for me.
... ensure everything in your frame is acceptably sharp?
Do you focus to infinity? Do you focus on the bottom third of the frame? Or do you have a cheat-sheet with a list of hyperfocal distances based on the effective focal length and aperture?
Mind sharing with me?

The last town before Tamworth and half way from Barraba is Manilla of about 2000 residents and displaying some more lovely heritage building. Built in 1900, which it proudly displays The Imperial Hotel, Manilla sits proudly in the main street and looking pretty good. There is another Imperial pub up the road at Bingara. And about 100 more throughout Australia!
I cooked!
That's the makings of a very hearty pea soup on the wooden spoon which has been in my family for over 50 years!
Technically, although we received over 10 inches of snow, New York City did not have sustained winds of 35 mph which would qualify the storm as a blizzard. Shucks!
Looking back to the starting point of our walk. Hill is relative I suppose - a feature of that size would not be named elsewhere
That we are looking for knowledge about how the universe runs, almost the whole of our life. When we think we understand the universe, we die. The other moments we just enjoy this earth...

Archiving and I'm running low! This was one of my luckiest sky days ever to me. Just one right after the other. This day I took over 60 shots in 30 minutes. God was puttin' on the prettiest show up there I'd ever seen. Here's another shot the same day.
