Description
So, when I begin to get aggressive I go out onto the golf course and beat senseless a variety of unassuming and defenseless golf balls - so far, they haven't objected but they don't do as instructed either :-) Incidently, the Saguaro cactus on the right has not been 'holed' by novice golfers.. the holes are created by 'Cactus Wrens' who make their homes there.. quite safe from all attack except by, you got it; bad golfers :-)
Thank you all so very much for all your wonderful comments and I wish to thank you for taking your time to view my artistic scribblings. Your comments and suggestions are not only deeply appreciated but valued highly.

i can't believe all the holes in that one cactus, it's definitely been having some rough days..lol!!! excellent detail, color and lighting!!! very well done!!!
Very awesome picture.
Look at that green grass...sigh...so beautiful. Cant wait for summer to arrive. So you golf huh? Id love to find time to try that out....unfortunatly im a little to addicted to this place....Gorgeus warm scenery you captured here. Have a great sunday, swing away! #:o)
love the rooks in this shot how they almost move in the warm sun!... yeah this place looks a bit like my moms house ..real awesome shot guy!!... perfect! show the golf corse owner this maybey he will buy it from ya!
Superb view and colors here, but, again, far too sharpened for my taste! It hurts my eyes to look at it! I've noticed the same problem with many of ur images! So I don't know if it comes from me and/or my monitor but since I don't have that problem with any other pics I believe not! ;) Still a beautiful capture, no doubt! :)
Hmm you would not want to hit the ballstoo close to those cactus, they hurt. I can see how the place is built out, soon no room even for golfers, windows are a big problem. gret shot, lovly place pity for the houses, Eccellent. V Lina
My goodness! All those windows within shooting range! Must be a great place for a glazier to hang out her shingle~ LOL. ~What camera are you using? It would be very interesting to see a shot with more of the cactus, perhaps at a different time of day.
How many floores high is the cactus home??? LOL Seems it is a favourite place to live also for human, when I see all this house! But somehow the houses mess this beauty up!! They look like shoeboxes!! I love nature pure, can't help it!! Wunderful captured all this, Paul!! V
lol funny story you told there :) so many houses you see on the picture. are trhere no sky crapers there? :) nice shot
Fantastic POV and Photo!
Where is it ? In Arizona or out of America...I'm a bit confused with the cactus resistance and superiority...A goog place for dilute aggressivity...Fantastic shot :-)
Asolutely fantastic work!!! Excellent pov and colors.
One of the things that fasinates me most here at ReRo is the ability to see talented artists open and display worlds to me that I never saw or knew existed. You do this .. and this is a beautiful snapshot. Such a different and cool landscape for me !!! point of view and colour are perfect in the photo.. *V
A wonderful place to be ! Fantastic composition, PoV and capture ! Excellent work !!! VOTE
WOW! this is beautiful image, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, excellent !!! Vote
amazing shot indeed!
There are so many houses...and so many look just alike! So you shoot golfs! Hummmm..wonder how many fall dead onto someones patio??LOL! Excellent shot...VOTE!!
Very beautiful image, but I agree, the houses spoil the beautiful nature setting. Cacti are such interesting plants. Excellent
Very beautiful golf course scene! I'm wondering how many broken windows the houses have because of golf balls flying into the wrong direction! LOL I like the huge cactus!!! V
again. showing how the human infringes on what would have been a beautiful natural scene, watched Yellow Stone blowing its top last night, is that what it will take to stop us!!!!! Nice shot other than that:):)
I would have no desire to live by a golf course, but many pay dearly for the disadvantage of no privacy.excellent foto Paul and the cacti is excellent-v
Estupenda fotografia y divertido comentario !
Birdies and Eagles abound.....Four!!!!
Your photography is just fabulous! Outstanding work.
Gorgeous capture!!!!! Beautiful!!!!! i'd love to play a little golf!!!!!! think i'll grab me a club and swing a bit if you don't mind!
cactus wrens lovely hearing of different inhabitants from different places in the world.. beautiful scape excellent clarity and colourings... superb..:)..
I am glad I read your copy first because I was going to ask if the roadrunner had made those holes in the cactus. Now I know that it is the wren and I feel I have learned something today. So where are the bathing beauties? Interesting to see how the communities are laid out in other areas. Nice going here Paul. Have a great week!
I understand your feeling in front such a devasted land ... But, anyway, your shot is still beautiful and the story about cactus very funny :))
The story about birds and their natural enemies (bad golfers) was well worth the look, thanks ! ...and doing sports for loosing some 'aggression' is something much more people should try ! Great capture, even if I don't like to see so much houses on one place ;-)
