Therefore, this Saguaro is my post for this week. I photographed this "cactus with personality" just north of Phoenix, Arizona in late November.

ABC Wednesday / "X"
My ABC Wednesday word for "X" this week is xerophyte. Xerophyte is any of various desert plants, such as the cactus, sagebrush, yucca, and agave, that store up water or give off very little to the air.

How I wish I had some of those around now (then it would also have been a bit warmer...)
Happy New Year!
Must only be about 50 degrees warmer there than here!
I have learned so many X words today. Great choice. Beautiful cactus with personality.
That cactus certainly does have personality, doesn't it?
After visiting the desert and seeing cacti in their natural habitat, I have begun to feel rather sorry for my little captives, in their pots. :(
Hi Carolyn,
i love these wonderful cactus characters.
You are making me wish I were vacationing in Arizona right now. LOL
I wish you all the best in 2010!
Nice shot.
Happy New Year !
Beautiful shot...with nice light...
I think all cacti have personalities! It must be those stumpy gesticulating arms!
Xerophyte is a new word for me. The cactus in the photo is beautiful. It is one of the scenes that we never see here in our country.
What character the Saguaro has. I spent a little time in that area and hold fond memories of the types of cacti, the wonderful rocks and the hugely blue sky. Great X post!
