Cactus National Park

First, let me say, I have dozens of blogs composed in my head so hopefully you'll be seeing more soon. The internet at home has been down, so nothing has happened. But tune in because hopefully I'll have more coming soon.
Second, I must say that the national park is not called Cactus National Park. As Holly pointed out last time, it is actually named Saguaro National Park. But since some of us don't know that Saguaro is a kind of cacuts, and (mainly) since I call it Cactus Nat'l Park in my head you all get to share in my illiteracy.
So, all that said. Here are some pictures. I took about 40 before my camera died, so you can just imagine the rest. And you'll have to imagine the gorgeous sunset too. But if you've ever seen an Arizona sunset you'll understand there's no real capturing it anyway.
Yet another reason not to call it Saguaro - even though they're the really cool, dominant ones - there are other kinds like these:








I match it! (See, I'm blossoming!)

And Elizabeth matches everything else.

Together we match the desert.

And here are the saguaro. These are a tiny sample. They're just so neat and personable












Can you see me? That should give you some idea of how big they are.
And this is just a pretty average guy.
