Join us in welcoming and viewing David Zeigler’s new post focusing on cactus in the Sonoran desert. David has many interests, travels regularly, and makes his experiences memorable for us through his wonderful photography. His past posts in the NESTER focus on a rodeo in Tucson, mustangs on Pryor Mountain, a cruise to Alaska, flowers, nature and more. Do take the time to enjoy David’s perspective on cactus and the desert.
“The extreme clarity of the desert light is equaled by the extreme individuation of desert life forms.”
— Edward Abbey
“The shadows of the deserts are so magical that we completely forget the owners of the shadows!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
“If the desert is holy, it is because it is a forgotten place that allows us to remember the sacred. Perhaps that is why every pilgrimage to the desert is a pilgrimage to the self. There is no place to hide and so we are found.”
– Terry Tempest Williams
“If a flower can flourish in the desert, you can flourish anywhere.”
Matshona Dhliwayo
“On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don’t stop”
- Paulo Coelho

I love pairing them quotes with the photos
“Owners of the shadows” is an expression pregnant with endless possibilities. How many influences do we have as individuals that never enter our minds? Caution advised on how I am, who I am, where I am, when I am? If I am is never in doubt.
Really enjoyed!
What a great post! The images took my breath away, and the quotes grabbed my heart and mind. Thank you!
