Hi Val, They are beautiful. I love cactus even though they are prickly. They seem to live forever without much help from anyone. Love all the color in this picture. Have a great day!
When I've seen prickly pear blooming, it always seems so incongruous to have a soft pink flower at the end of that flat, fleshy spiny oval--I expect flowers to come on stems!
Love the warm colors, textures and the bokeh
ReplyDeleteIn full bloom too....the yellow wild flowers really bring out the cactus...very beautiful!

I love cacti too. The beauty of the flowers is in such contrast to the prickly spines. Great shot - I love the tones....
