Saguaro Cactus



Saguaro, pronounced "sah-wah-rah", cactus are native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and some parts of Mexico. The Saguaro blossom is the state flower of Arizona. This species of cactus can have a life-span of over 150 years. It takes up to 75 years to grow a side-arm.

These photos were taken earlier this year by my boss.

Bandanna Bicycle

This photo was taken near the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins in Belize.

This single-gear classic is a great example of how one doesn't need much cash to give your ride a customized look. The owner took 4 classic blue bandannas and stretched one over each side of the spokes and then tucked them between the tire and rim. The owner of the bike was at the ruins selling coconuts, some of which can be seen on the left of the photo.

Personally, I found the bike and its owner much more interesting than the ruins.

Mountain goats abound the rocky cliffs of Glacier National Park. These were spotted on Hidden Lake Trail which begins at the very top of Going-To-the-Sun-Road.
