Cactus Bus Stop ~

To me these cacti look like they are impatiently waiting to catch the first glimpse of their bus approaching.

  2. I do love those barrel cactus. I think they lean towards sunrise or sunset. I can't remember which.

  3. HA!! FUNNY!...maybe everybody is trying to see around the tall guy wearing 2 hats?! And the two in the forefront are seriously putting the BARREL in Barrel Cactus!

  4. Based on Roberta's comments I did a little research and found that these cacti are sometimes called "Compass Cactus" and they generally lean in a southwest direction. Interesting!

  5. Yes, they do lean, but I couldn't recall exactly which way. Thanks for researching. I know that a short (young) saguaro grows straight up, so you can tell the difference between the two out on a desert hike ;-)
