Thank you for the link, Jen. Lovely...

[JustAmy]

Thank you OESY.

The info is great. I never paid much attention to Van Gogh. The info regarding the Whitman inspiration is very interesting. A new insight into the man.

Thank you for sharing that and the link.

He threw the ball so fast, I almost couldn't read that it was pitcher's day! I don't know much at all about baseball, so of course I had to mention a pitcher of margarita's! ; )

Thanks. I didn't do it from memory, though.

I did what the shepherds did when they had a question about Heaven.

...I looKED up!

Nice poems, OESY.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Okay, you have to have a strong stomach for this link, but the last stanza of your poem reminded me of it...

by the way, nice poem.

[JustAmy]

I need to start working on my digital touch ups skills! Right now, I send them to MamaBear. LOL

That is a fun link. Thank you.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

nice poems, Elenheru.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

How old do you think those cacti are?

[JustAmy]

Thanks, P.A.L.

I've never seen so many cacti in my life!! :)

Beautiful photos!

One of my favorite t-shirts is a bright coral color with several different cacti in dayglow colors. I wish I could get it in a picture for the wall. It was made by a company in Lawrence, KS, who also has ads in some horse magazines. They come to Indp, MO every Labor Day weekend to the Sante-Cali-Gon Days festival and set up a booth selling their shirts. The illustrations are a southwestern theme. I try to visit my favorite booths every year for Xmas gifts.

Chris Seymour, 15, of Phoenix looks over the Grand One,
a possibly 200-year-old saguaro in the Horseshoe Lake area northeast of Scottsdale.

Arizonia Republic Article.

Since the cactus I was standing next to, had not yet developed arms, I would guess that it may be about 50 years old. Seems that I read some place that at 50, they start putting out arms. Hope I am not mistaken.
