The Sonoran Squid

A dying cholla that looks (to me) like a squid sits in front of a landscape destroyed by fire on the Saguaro Nest Trail in McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on September 29, 2023. Original: _Z729570.NEF

Normally I enjoy seeing new species but this one made me sad as the only reason I saw my first Sonoran squid was because a fire destroyed its habitat. It still has a little green, as does the barrel cactus and saguaro behind it, but they are the walking dead.
