Another Cactus from Sunnylands

Hi All,

Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage is as a place where for many years world leaders have met to discuss issues of national and international importance. Their gardens are free to visit and well worth the time. I shot this with my Fuji W3 and approximated it into a phantogram.

The first set of Democratic Party debates is past us. While I'm supporting Elizabeth Warren I think the two best quotes that night came from Pete Buttigieg and Marianne Williamson.

From Ms. Williamson: "If you forcibly take a child from their parents’ arms, you are kidnapping them. If you take a lot of children and you put them in a detainment center, thus inflicting trauma upon them, that’s called child abuse. This is collective child abuse. … Both of those things are a crime. If your government does it, that doesn’t make it less of a crime. These are state-sponsored crimes."

From Mayor Pete: "For a party that associates itself with Christianity to say it is okay to suggest that God would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents, that God would condone putting children in cages, has lost all claim to ever use religious language."

Elizabeth was steady, Bernie was Bernie, Julián and Kamala were strong and very compelling. I thought Joe Biden looked a little lost up there.
