“Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives, we nurture death.” -Haruki Murakami
Dead cholla, or their skeletons, are one of my favorite nature artifacts. I love to collect those lacy hollow sticks. I found this cactus full of skeletons, live branches, and blooms – an intergenerational cactus.

I like you cactus series. Very interesting colors. I love the cholla skeletons, too.
