Saguaros on Fire, 1 of 13

February 23rd, 2009. I took my little daughter, Megan, out with me this night. She had been begging me to go for the previous 2 weeks. She turned out being my good luck charm, as a spectacular sunset took form. We were on a horse trail on top of a ridge near the eastern end of Speedway in Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona. This is my personal favorite of the series - seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/7298460@N03/sets/72157622744243609/
