Cacti Reflections by taffy

Cacti Reflections

Our move to Tucson is now 'complete' except for the projects ahead and all the other things associated with getting settled. Lots of questions like, 'where are the small screwdrivers?' 'What happened to the battery tester?' 'Where is the tape?' Things that normally don't even come up in conversation! The move from Beaver Island involved meeting some of my family on the east coast for the Cape May Birding Festival, then a week in Chicago, then arrival in Tucson and the shock that we did NOT get as much done last May as we'd come to believe over the summer. So we are slowly but surely moving along. We were treated to one huge rainstorm (rain here is a good thing and really valued) and a quick visit to Sabino Canyon in hopes of some puddles for reflections (very rare). Just a few remained, but it was fun to try.
A great pic.
Enjoy AZ, we lived there for 16 years and I loved it!

Such an unusual phenomenon to have the cacti and a reflection pool. Nice shot. Good luck getting acclimated. It seems like a big change for you.

Rain? Water? Amazing

@falcon11 Thanks! It is a huge change! I think it will be a good one, but both my husband and I are Chicagoans at our core. Much healthier lifestyle here with lots of outdoor activity, but it definitely will take an adjustment! It's nice already having friends here and we do love our new house. Time will tell...

Hope it all goes well

One does not normally think of “cactus” and “puddle” as things that go together! Great find.
Good luck with all the small adjustments and enjoy your new home!

Great capture. Guess it will just take a little time to get everything the way it needs to be and in the places that they need to be. It'll get there.

I know you will get settled sooner or later and at your own pace. At least you're not asking the question "Where is my camera?" or "What box holds my lenses?" I still remember how attractive those cacti were from ages ago when I visited Az. Good shot!
