Little Big Bangs

A close-up view of an old hole drilled by a woodpecker that is surrounded by the hardened and cracked skin of an old saguaro on the Tarantula Trail in McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 3, 2023. Originals: _Z728138.NEF to _Z728173.NEF

As I stared down the borehole of one of my favorite pieces of art, it felt more like I was photographing The Big Bang rather than the aftermath of a bunch of small ones. The hole was only 4 or 5 feet off the ground and the old saguaro’s skin hardened around it. I’d photograph these more but sadly I have not yet gotten my wish to be 50 feet tall and/or to have wings, but fingers crossed for 2024!
