Saguaro cactus
Ocotillo in desert near Quartzsite AZ - that's one fat saquaro ready for the hot summer-in winter during rainy season the saguaro stores up water so they don't die during the arid hot summer when it's well over 130 degrees. Then they look pretty lean - not fat like this one. One smart saguaro, I'd say. I will post more desert photos as soon as I have time to do so.
