Walking Among the Crowds

 

Last weekend I went for a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden hoping for a nice, quiet walk.  However, it was more crowded than I have seen it in years.  Our great winter weather combined with the Chihuly exhibit have sent attendance at the garden soaring.  It seemed like there were crowds on every trail.



It did give me an opportunity to photograph the huge cardon cactus with some people in the foreground.  That way you can see just how big these giant cactus are.  They grow up taller than any saguaro cactus.

I can imagine people are sick of the pandemie and want to go out!

Crowds feel rather spooky to see even in a photo. I hope I get over that feeling. Those cacti are huge.

That huge cactus is cool, I didn't know they got that big.
