Cresed Saguaro
Crested Saguaro, soft pastel on archival board, 20×16″, 2018, by Jean Krueger, copyrighted with all rights reserved

Saguaro, the ubiquitous cactus of the Sonoran desert, mutate from time to time. When they do, they may form an intricately folded fan-like shape at the end of one or more branches. The fan may start to form when the cactus is dozens of years old (saguaros can live a couple hundred years). Other varieties of cactus are able to mutate in this way. To date, there is no explanation for why these plants decide to up and do this…they just do.

Clouser Minnow – Wet Fly
Clouser Minnow, watercolor, 9×12″, by Jean Krueger, copyrighted with all rights reserved, 2018

This fly, designed by Bob Clouser, is used for any fish that’ll eat a minnow, that is bass, trout, pike and their ilk. It’s made from two colors of deer hair combined with sparkly streamers. It’s inverted, that is it is weighted by its bead eyes so that the hook is up. As a result it is less apt to get entangled in weeds as it is retrieved. Those who fly fish find it very effective in attracting fish.

Symmetrical Asymmetry – Cactus
Symmetrical Asymmetry – Cactus, Pastel on Board, 16×20″, 2017, by Jean Krueger, copyrighted with all rights reserved.

This plant grows in a traffic median close to where I stay. I’ve been watching it over the years and it’s grown large and gnarly. I don’t know the name of the species but continue to search for it.

Cacti are generally quite symmetrical in their growth patterns. This example tries to defy that truism with it’s asymmetrical branching. However, the undulating surface of the branches, while not symmetrical, follows in a pattern which repeats somewhat symmetrically. I find that feature fascinating.
