Here are some of the treasures that I found on my recent walk through the desert.
Can you guess what it is?;)

These are parts of a saguaro skeleton.
Sometimes you can find these amazing growths with very intricate curvy forms and textures. They are a great source of inspiration to me.
Saguaros are such incredible teachers, especially through their ability to thrive in very harsh conditions, and nourishing so many desert creatures. Even after they die, their structures slowly decaying, keep unraveling such beauty!
I feel very blessed to live in a place where I am surrounded by them!
Work with plant allies is such an important part of my journey.
I wouldn't be here where I am now if I would not work in my past with the old oaks assisting me in my healing process.
I wouldn't be here, if I would not learn to see the beauty in little things, everywhere I look, opening portals into magical worlds.

That are some really cool pictures. Google says that Saguaros are a cactus species, right? But what is this on your pictures? The roots? Or just the dried remains?
And where do you live to have this in your area, if I may ask?
