ue,

I'm hoping all he snow we've been getting in the desert will let me get some shots like this in the Spring. It's a beauty.

Ohh, I almost can feel the prickles!

Great shot!

prickly delight!!! lovely colours...i have hated cactus ever since i landed with my bottoms on them while playing as a child........but when they are flowering, they are a beauty!! :)

Yes, sometimes digging through the archives and posting a shot works for me too.

There is something special about a blooming cactus. This one is very nice.

the cactus doesn't actually look that prickly - you've made it look actually quite soft....

Anna said...

Rain in Sunny Califoria, surely not..
We also have small pricky pear cactus, the dog walked into some once, so we watch where we walk the dog now

The more of your work that I see, the more I am struck by the irony of your user name. You're way more than a wannabe: your gift with a lens suggests very strongly that you're more akin to a master.

I love your work. You capture such mood in your images.

wonderful texture...nice shot

Chad Oneil Myers said...

Wouldn't want to fall on that!

Deb said...

Sue this is beautiful! While living in Phoenix I learned that a cactus' bloom lasts just one day, and blooms just once a year.
Your photo makes me think Spring Thoughts!!!
