We went for a hike the other day. Nothing strenuous, just a nice relaxing walk up a little mountain. When you live in Arizona, it's kind of like you're in a little bubble. It's hard to imagine other places getting snow while it's 85 and you're wearing shorts. My apologies if you're one of the people getting snow!
The really tall cactus with arms are Saguaros. The shorter ones that look fuzzy (it's really tons of prickles) are called Cholla (below on the left). These particular chollas are called Teddy Bear Chollas. Caleb once made the mistake of thinking they were fuzzy and grabbed one. He never did that again! The tall spindley looking plant that has lots of spikes sticking up (below on right) is called an Ocatillo. Our house is somewhere down in the valley in the bottom picture.
