A pair of young cactus in Tucson were enjoying a beautiful day in the sun! The only thing that they were missing was a cold drink with an umbrella in it!! For this image I chose a straight on perspective to capture the colors and flavor of the American Southwest! I have included an addtional pov of this place in the comments section.
