Saguaro National Park
I am so happy to be back in the desert, able to walk among these giant cacti, the mighty Saguaro. I have visited over a hundred National Parks and Monuments, in 46 states, and I think this is the park that most loudly calls my name. I want to explore it, talk to it, photograph it, sketch it. Lots of folks think the desert, and Saguaro National Park, is harsh and hostile, but I find it attractive, alluring, full of life.
About Bo MackisonI'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

I would not want to fall down that hill. Hehe. Still, I think that this photograph does show a beauty for the desert we rarely see or apperciate. Hope you are enjoying your trip. 🙂
They are truly majestic plants! the one in the foreground is a very large one!
My all time favorite desert, my all time favorite cacti, my all time favorite memories are right there. Even the smell of that desert remains with me. I adore it and I wish to be there. Sigh.
iconic to say the least.
