Right cactus: “How old are you?”
Left cactus: “I’m 3 years old”, as he holds up 3 fingers.
These two characters were found in the Sonoran Desert in the White Tank Mountain Park in Arizona.

Thanks! I’m in Florida. This was an archive photo from our trip out there almost 16 years ago. We flew out to Phoenix to shoot a wedding. After the wedding, we took a few days and went hiking. I love it all out west. I’m from Texas originally. Where abouts are you?

We live in North Phoenix, an hour south of Prescott. I’m from Pittsburgh and when my parents retired, they were torn between Florida and Arizona. AZ won and has been my life ever since! Love the hiking here. And we “visit” seasons in AZ. If we want snow, we drive north to visit it. Do you like Florida?

I have been in Florida for 35 years. I miss Texas but not enough to move back. I love Arizona but I’d really love to move to Nevada or Idaho. I love Vegas but not for the city, for the birding and hiking surrounding the area. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to go onto the trip on occasion and play in a Texas Hold Em’ Tournament. 🙂 I love Florida, but I’m ready for a change. My kids and grandkids are here in the state so it would be hard for me to leave permanently. 🙂

Plan a trip to the western states and you will see them. Arizona and New Mexico are the best places to see these types. 🙂 I love it out there with all the different terrains and ecosystems.

They bloom…cacti bloom! Being from Pittsburgh originally, it was hard to wrap my head around a spiny plant having gorgeous flowers!

That is the best part! Cactus store water for a long time so they can get through all the dry spells. When monsoon season hits, they can soak that up and store it. 🙂 I love the desert but I love the ocean more. LOL!

I agree. Nothing like feeling all my stress drain out of my toes when I’m laying on the beach!

We got THE beach here in Jacksonville. If you like drinking and bar hopping, Jacksonville Beach is the place to go. That is not our style. Our beach is over 5 miles of nothing but beach with no structures except the bathrooms. That is our style. 🙂

Yes they do and really pretty flowers too! We have a cactus on our back patio area that blooms an incredible flower. It didn’t bloom in 2019 or last year. It probably needs some fertilizer. Here is the blog I wrote about the last bloom. https://oureyesopen.blog/2020/08/26/fotd-night-blooming-cereus/

love the photo, and the dialogue…
I had a chance to go on a Jeep tour of an Arizona desert several years ago, and I was simply stunned at the beauty (and how easy it seems like it would be to get lost)

They were talking when I found them. LOL!
A Jeep tour sounds like fun! I love the desert but I would miss the water too much. I would have to invest in body lotion if I ever lived out there. The cactus isn’t the only thing that gets prickly. 🙂
