Cactus Practice · 10:44 PM

Beavertail and Cholla cacti are now in bloom, a couple from Ehrenberg.

You've done these nicely and the colour has come out very well.

I want to be in the desert now. I am so jealous of you Bob.

Wow, very unique images, Bob! I like how you have processed these. Who knew cactus had such pretty colorful blooms?

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 03-28-2012, 12:42 PM

Very nice Bob, love the color, especially the first one.

Nice warm looking shots Bob. I can't wait to get home after a month here and get back in the normal swing of things at least until the next vacation.

the grass is always greener Susan, you wouldn't enjoy the crystal clear days and 85 degree weather and all of the cactus in bloom.

Lori, I think most people think that the cactus are just sticks with spines on them, but they are actually quite beautiful. Glad you like the photos here. Bob

thanks Heinrich, I think I will not take so many closeup photo macro shots as in #2, I agree that the first image is better to view, gives a better perspective of the plant. I do think roses look better closeup though in most instances. thanks Bob

Hey Charlie, no matter where you are, you are on vacation. You're retired.
