The saguaros are blooming. Getting a photo is not an easy task though, as these flowers tend to be at the very top of the cactus and its arms. Occasionally, I might spot a saguaro with a malformed arm bent down towards the ground with flowers in bloom, but then I’m probably speeding by with no safe spot to pull over and snap a photo. I found this rogue flower on the side of a saguaro, and with an 8-foot ladder, I was able to get just high enough to take this image before these beautiful flowers drop away under the crushing summer sun.
