Many people have never seen or even know that many cactus bloom in the spring... Brilliant flowers seemingly come out of no where.. And for a short period of time the desert really comes alive... This particular large cholla cactus is right out my window... And it's becoming prettier every day... Not only that I get to see Arizona's state bird in action, the Cactus Wren.. Talk about a great defense against predators... Build your nest in the middle of a cactus... The Wren's are part of a monogamous couple... The males build the nests and the females incubate the eggs... These birds do not migrate; instead they establish and defend the territories around their nests where they live year-round.... It has been quite a sight watching the males these nests... Right now there are at least 5 of various sizes in the cactus... These birds who are really poor fliers chasing the doves and quails away is entertaining for sure.. My cats and I watch constantly waiting for new arrivals... I hope you enjoy the pics? And if you do visit Az, the month of April is really the best time as far as I am concerned.. ~ Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear. ~

Here in SE Spain, it´s quite dry almost desert-like, most of the time (Tho this spring has been rainy!!) so cactus plants are great for growing ,, unlike my homeland of Ireland,, The Emerald Isle. Great photos! Ginger

I lived in the desert for many years. It can be one of the most amazing, beautiful places you’ve ever seen at times!
