Cactus Monday: Heavy Metal Whimsy




I had to photograph this wonderful metal sculpture for my Cactus Monday pals!


This man and his 84 year old dad make the most unusual and awesome things out of scrap metal. What a trip!!


Happy Cactus Monday!


(Oh, I don't remember his name. I even tried Googling him.)

    this was a day when three friends traveled near and far, stopping to rest by a prickly metal cactus,
    and each looked up in gratitude
    for the prickly privilege
    of the company
    of one another
