more arms four arms

I snapped a few pics during a quick hike in Saguaro National Park this morning which I'll post over the next few days or so.  

Here are four new arms starting to emerge on the east side of this saguaro.  I'm always amazed at how saguaro arms just seem to tear their way out of the main column.   Here are some of my past pictures of new saguaro arms emerging.  Looks painful.  Of course a saguaro would probably just say: "come on, you can take it, show a little spine will ya".
