#CWBC: Pair of barrel cacti

Black and white photo of 2 barrel cacti in Saguaro National Park East — Barrel cacti, Saguaro National Park East, February 13, 2021

This week’s theme for Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge (CWBC) is Pairs. We found this pair of barrel cacti in the East unit of Saguaro National Park, about a half hour from where I live. Since moving to Tucson last October, I’ve found myself falling in love with cacti. They are fascinating, and I’m in awe of their ability to survive in such unforgiving conditions.
