On a trip this week to Phoenix, Mike spent a few hours hiking in Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona.

 The Rincon Mountains

 Barrel Cactus flowers

 Saguaro Cactuses

 Cholla Cactus

  A young Saguaro Cactus and a Palo Verde Tree

 The largest Barrel Cactus that I have ever seen

  Javelina Hills

 Gila Woodpecker on Saguaro Cactus
(Does this picture remind anyone else of the cover of Wilco's album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"?)
