Green dry cacti growing from the dry trunk of a tree in the deserts of Sedona, Arizona

A rough, textured tree trunk hosts a small green cactus (Opuntia spp.) growing from its surface. The tree's bark is fibrous and brown, appearing aged and weathered. The cactus has two oval pads with visible spines, emerging from a crevice in the wood. The environment is characteristic of arid regions, emphasizing the resilience of both the tree and cactus in the dry landscape of Sedona, Arizona. Sparse greenery in the background suggests a desert habitat.
