This Saguaro appears bloated following a rainy day. A cactus soaks up as much water as it can to tide it over the dryness that prevails in the desert. There's a fantastic time-lapse sequence in the BBC's "Planet Earth" series that shows Saguaro becoming engorged with water after a desert rainfall. It's not available online, but definitely worth seeking out. I'll go back sometime on a dry day to photograph this Saguaro for comparison.
