"Evolution"

One (of many) things that Arizona is most famous for are their sunsets, and I’ve seen some stellar ones! I’ve noticed though that the more interesting the clouds are, the more spectacular the sunset is. On this particular day, I walked into the desert hoping to get some back-lit saguaro trees at sunset. As I waited for the sun to set however I could see some rather large clouds rolling in and I knew the sunset I was anticipating just wasn’t going to happen. It was chilly, so I started back when I happened upon this brilliant saguaro tree skeleton. Then I notice the flourishing saguaro tree behind it, and I knew I had a shot. I named this photo “Evolution” because it depicts the saguaro tree’s life cycle.
