I've had the pleasure of spending time exploring the Sonoran desert areas of Southern Arizona. These quiet, peaceful places are guarded by giant saguaro cactus. While these silent giants are threatened by continued human encroachment, they continue to stand as testaments to the quiet awe of these desert habitats.
