The magnificent Saguaro bride, queen of all she surveys, takes her time in growing arms.100 years may pass before deciding to test the air, allowing the first open hand... another fifty, it seems, have proven her faith well rewarded: she appears free and in command, emulating Shiva the transformer, the protector, offering solace and shade, an open embrace for the brave. Recorded within the raindrops and rivulets of the centuries' storming, absorbed by her bodice and heart, over 150 years of the movements of the desert's pulmonary flow... the respiration of the gila, the scorpion, the coyote, and the variant pit vipers coiling in the shade among the zephyrs' cries. She is life, awaiting. Life inherent, well enshrined, and she needs no voice to sing. For @murhme and her patience in monochrome For @shelovescolorado who knows precisely why For @goldengirl8733 who also understands And, dammit, for me. Because I deserve something. #arizonatography #desertporn #starporn #celestial #endlessruminations #lordshiva #creation #saguaronps #saguaro #desertography #natgeo #ptk_sky #ptk_night #brbw #ptk_bnw #coffeetone #sepiastars #setaphore #setapome #tucson #jj_Arizona #nationalpark #longexposure #night #nightskies #35mm #Nikonusa #D610 #nikefex #rsa_sky #rsa_night #lookingup #igersaz #visitarizona (at Saguaro National Park)

It wasn't the ability to touch that drove him. It was the possibility of attaining that which was just out of reach. A subtle difference but one which proves anticipation is the greater consideration when compared to ownership in and of itself. We are all someone else's horizon. Somewhere in the world the vanishing lines converge right where we stand and the scale we provide offers note and anchorpoint and subtle center for another soul attempting to traverse that ineffable fourth dimension. Importance, then, on a cosmic scale. Existential, transcendent, subatomic grace. The thrum and flutter of eyelashes in a vacuum... Silence and deafening. #starryskies #starporn #stars #longexposure #endlessruminations #setaphore #setaphoreimaging #ptk_sky #jj_arizona #explorearizona #arizonatography #sedonatography #sedonaaz #bellrocktrail #sedona #ptk_night #15mm #sedonagram #NikonD610 #natgeotravel #nationalparktrips (at Bell Rock Trail Sedona AZ)
