What has arms but can't hug?

One of my favorite things in AZ is the Saguaro Cactus.

It is one signal I look for as we drive along in AZ because it tells me Mesa is getting close so I usually close up my "Nook" and start  looking seriously at the scenery!

Interesting to note, it takes 75 years before one of these grows an arm!  They are a protected cactus species in AZ.  So majestic and only grows in a small area in our country, which is where we are.
Check the link to a website that can provide you with some interesting information on them!

As you can see, the desert is not just bare sand!
