Ocotillo and the Moon


I don't usually take pictures at night. I don't care for flash photography and nearly all of my pictures, except snapshots of birthday parties, are taken with natural light. This usually means that the light is bright and the sky is dark blue since I live in the desert. But this shot worked, for a change, because of the form of the octotillo and its relationship to the moon. Fouquieria splendens Engelm. or ocotillo is not a cactus, it is a large upright shrubby plant that grows in the Arizona Sonora Desert.
