Cactus Blooms

Unfortunately spring is almost over and the snowbirds are heading home
which means Caryn is returning to her nest. Hopefully we'll get together in summer.


She told me about this beautiful cactus flowers that only bloom for a day or so.


So luscious and yet fragile


Prolific and resilient even if they only last a short time.


We thought we had missed them, then they bloomed again-hurrah!

Watch out for those spines.


Beauty is in the details sometimes, up close and personal.


Some are wilting already, but we captured them this year.
