This is the tall saguaro in my neighbor's yard that I've been watching for 2 years. I think that it will be one of those rare ones that form the crest at the top, in a "wave-form". It's really hard to capture the detail when the light is right, for the sky in the background really throws off the exposure. This is the first of 3 in a row. They are used to show the unusual growth pattern that occurs prior to a crest forming.
