I
have been out of town all this last week and I'm still in Chicago for
an exhibit, so didn't have time to create artwork for this Monday post.
But I found this "sophisticated Saguaro clothesline" and thought it be a perfect showpiece for the "cactuteers" of Monday Cactus 🙂 Enjoy!

A wise old owl sat in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
