Breathtaking





Went down to the beach at 6am yesterday to watch the moon set over the horizon.
On the way home I took photos of the cactus flower in the neighbours driveway. This cactus is growing in gravel, next to a pile of rubbish and up against a tin fence. It keeps producing the most beautiful flowers. They are quite large - about as big as my outstretched hand. Click on photo for close-up.
I am working on our next 12 x 9 challenge - the theme is 'Through the Window'.

  1. Hi Deb, don't you just love it when nature takes a hand and produces something beautiful in an area that is, to say the least, not pretty? I love to see little tiny flowers pushing up between flagstones. Love those cactus petals.
