Tucson Botanic Gardens
Tucson, Arizona
My best friend (who taught me photography) had recently moved from Southern California to Tucson and I made a visit out to see him and his wife that winter. Always looking for photo outing opportunities, we stopped by the Tucson Botanic Gardens on a grey day, where I came across this unusual juxtaposition.
Photo taken December 27, 2006.

Well now, if I didn’t know any better I’d say they were trapping earwigs. Nice juxtapositioning. 🙂
How very bizarre – a cactus with a hat on. Great find.
This is a great one! Thanks for sharing.
I just got back from Arizona and saw similar things. They’re used to keep the tips of the cacti from freezing. My entry this week was not only also from Arizona, but also from a botanical garden, the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Great minds. 🙂
