Very good guess, Terri. It's an ocotillo in bloom, found locally in the Anza Borrego Desert. Some days I find the image uplifting, like Triteacher suggests. Today, though, I'm home sick and the spikiness heightens my considerable irritability.
Blooming Ocotillo! Anne, you rock! That's one of my favorite cacti (Giant Saguaro is next) that I would enjoy seeing on my annual spring break trip to the desert. No deserts here in the east. I kind of miss them.

That looks like a cactus with buds beginning, am I right? Was that taken in the desert?
What are they reaching for?

I have some catching up to do here, Anne! So sorry to hear about your co-workers. Very sad! My prayers go out to the family and friends affected.
