The picture below , taken in Arizona in 2001 (same trip as my earlier post about Winslow) isn’t really noteworthy for any good reason. Me, and a nice young saguaro… Based on the saguaro cactus I planted from legally purchased seeds when we got home, it’s probably only sixty to 80 years old, and has yet to produce its first flower. Mine is 19 years old and still just over a foot tall! A veritable baby in the cactus world. They can live to 200 years old, and have as many as 45 arms!
However, there is a bit of an illusion going on here with my attire. I’m wearing a womens’ gray polo shirt and a “bottom” – with my women’s sandals. Yes, I wore them even back then, ladies! Anybody care to guess what my bottom was – a skirt, skort (oh that’s right, they hadn’t been made popular yet) or shorts?
If you guessed a skirt, you’d be wrong. Back that far, I had some skirts but only wore them on excursions. Since my wife was along, they’re shorts! But in retrospect I wish they could have been a skort! (At least they were womens’ shorts!)
Thanks for stopping by…
Hugs…
