And, because this is Bloomin' Tuesday, here is cactus flower that opened yesterday. It loves rain, and seems to bloom every time we have summer rains.

Illumination
I love taking photos in the very late afternoon. I think it's interesting to see how cactus spines look when the last rays of the sun illuminate them. Here are a few I took last evening.

ReplyDeleteThat flower is just gorgeous- I love the light pink color! The rains have really been something here too! My yard is soggy and full of debris and weeds!
ReplyDeleteThat light just makes these spectacular!! and that flower is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blooming Tuesday!
The last cactus plant has such a beautiful bloom. I find the spines facinating. To think that I am thrilled when I get a bloom from a Christmas cactus.

Aiyana, wonderful pictures of your cacti. The sun's angle does show them off better. Of course, my favorite is the 'Los Angeles'!
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos, but that flower is stunning! How is it that cactus without flowers look so dangerous, but their blooms are always some of the most delicate and beautiful?
ReplyDeletethe echinopsisxLos angeles looks so delicate. The color is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think you were right, morning glory days are here. Difficult not to see them right now :-)
Beautiful Cacti! With the light behind it is called backlighting, isn't it? Just makes those THORNS look like touchable fuzz! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos with the sun showing their spines! Awesome! The pink in this cactus flower is amazing! It looks so delicate especially compared to the cactus. I think this is my favorite! Great Bloomin' Tuesday post! Jean

ReplyDeleteThat afternoon light is my favorite kind of light at my favorite time of day. Beautiful. The spines look like back lit hair.
