Friday Fun: Crazy for Cactus

While I was in California for a writing retreat earlier this month, I went crazy with my camera’s macro lens. What was the special occasion?

Cactus. It was the first time I’d ever seen cactus plants growing in their natural setting.

I was amazed by the diversity of cactus species I encountered, so I thought I’d share some of my photos with you today.

Hope you like them.

    I especially love the way the light falls on the first one. Lovely shots.

    Thanks for the comments. Michelle, thanks so much for showing me how to use my macro lens. I didn't sample any prickly pear foods, sue. I heard it's great in soup too.
