Prickly Pear Persuasion

Thank you, Jurgen. I am glad I could persuade you with this cactus flower, that the desert is not brown and ugly, or just dirt.

The prickly pear cactus blooms are indeed exquisite. Thank you for your visit to my desert garden of joy, Georgia. I really appreciate it. All my cactus varieties are ready to display their springtime blossoms soon.

Thank you, Kim. The only way to really be able to appreciate the intricate beauty of these springtime, cactus blooms, is to get in close. I appreciate you noticing, and sharing it on Pinterest.

Thank you, Dora! The Arizona, Sonoran Desert, Engelmann prickly pear cactus, always lives up to beautiful springtime compositions. Getting in close, really hones in on the intricacies of these luscious layers of loveliness. Sometimes the cactus bee joins in on the fun.

Thank you, David for stopping by and sharing your thoughts about my shallow depth photography of this prickly pear cactus flower. As for the color and the textures of this bloom, all credit goes to its wise and loving Designer. I am honored to be able to share its beauty, in this special way.
