September in Arizona: Barrel Cactus in Bloom

Desert in Bloom: Mike in Tucson, Arizona Mortgage Lender

~ Barrel Cactus in Bloom ~

We've had an exceptional Monsoon Season in Arizona this year--more rain for Tucson than we've had in more than 15 years! 

This Barrel Cactus would have bloomed just as brightly if the drought had continued.  Like a wise old man, it stores moisture from the good times to see it through the bad times.

Good lesson!
