The first is a photo of the Biosphere 2 which we toured. It is a self-contained environment supposed to test the ability of humans to live within strict, space-station-like parameters. The experiment was not an unmitigated success. Currently the place functions as a tourist venue with some science going on. The multitude of geometric shapes here takes me back to high school math.
Next I share a photo of Saguaro cacti from the desert near Tucson. We took a lovely but challenging (for out of shape, 51 year old me) hike to a creek in the desert. During this trip I definitely fell in love with the Saguaro. It is a grand plant, comparable in its own way to a stand of redwood trees for its age and seeming timelessness.

I like the cactus photos. I could imagine them getting up and walking around at night!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I LOVE Arizona and try to visit there very few years. I try to stay more on the nature side, although, each time I go back. the city side is ever expanding. Great photos!

Great multiples - and great shots! Never likely to get to Arizona but it looks a fascinating place!
I love the juxtaposition of nature at its most elemental against a mixture of highly engineered technology and biology. What a wonderful combination for the multiples theme!
