Beautiful photo and wow, what a beautiful house.

[Phnoasthetic]

That is a really great shot.

[Karen Hofmann]

Oh man, that is very cool! I love in Michigan and we have harsh winters so I don't see things like this.

Cool!

[Robert Velten]

Neat place, great exposure! Like the contrasting colors of the sky, house and cacti/plants. Is this on campus?

[Kerri]

Robert, yes! This is on campus!!

Karen, I grew up inLong Beach, California so I'm not quite used to these plants yet.


Thanks everyone for the comments. :)

[Kerri]

I like the weird cactus in the front

[John Patrick]

Very cool. We don't have these outside in Pennsylvania.

[Robert Velten]

The weird cactus in front is a cristate or crested form Saguaro. Nobody is sure why some start growing this way.

[Kerri]

Thanks Robert!! I knew it was a Saguaro but I didn't know there was a special name for the funny shape!!

[Kerri]

Do you have any theories on why it is shaped like that?

[Fiamma°]

What a nice house! :O

You're a Wildcat! Love this view! I looked at a couple of your pictures and followed the trail here! I went to THS years ago, and both my girls graduated from the U of A. Enjoy your time there! Great school...beautiful setting!

[Louise & Ken]

VERY small world...my home is in Fountain Valley CA (though we've spent the summer in Nova Scotia) So glad you dropped by this evening! Enjoy your college days; there's nothing like it!

[Kerri]

Louise and Ken, thanks!! I grew up in CA and got my Bachelor's and Master's degrees there! So far, yes, Arizona is such a beautiful place!!
