* The Living Desert *

 
Now I know that the title of this image sounds like some cheesy article right out of National Geographic where they've run out of ideas, and they give a camera to some homeless guy and have him take some pictures of the desert.
 
However, I must emphasize that Arizona is still going through one of the longest droughts in history, currently facing more than 130 consecutive days without rain.
But, although its struggling, the desert is still alive.
 
But on a more humorous note. Just last week, my uncle came over and told me, "You probably should take the hose out here and water some of these cactus."
Whereupon I paused, gave him a very perplexing glance, and replied with, "You want me to do WHAT??"
