A new moon rises over the desert near Tucson, Arizona. The various shadows and diffused light illuminate the desert life. The tall saguaro cactus in the right foreground of this image is at least 100 years old and more than fifty feet tall.

The saguaro cactus is found in the Sonoran Desert which is in the Mexican state of Sonora and Arizona. The plant grows from seeds and can grow from 40-60 feet tall. The arms of the saguaro cactus usually start when the plant is about seventy five years old. When it rains the cactus soaks up the water and visibly expands. Then very slowly consumes it. Many of the desert birds, like the Gila woodpecker, make their homes in the saguaro cactus.
