The last two mornings have been amazing with more cactus blossoms than I have ever seen in our front yard. Two days ago it was all white blossoms and I counted over 50. I didn't take many pictures of the white ones as they are rather featureless but the second day it was all beautiful colored ones. The interesting thing about these blossoms is that they bloom during the night and are gone before noon. Hope you enjoy them.
Beautifully photographed!
When I read "Cactus Blossoms", I instantly thought of a fellow Tucsonan! Very beautiful! #1 is my fav.

WOW Shaun!!!!! Very beautiful!!!!!!!!
Very nice. Wonderful colors.
My thanks to all who have enjoyed the pictures - I wish you could see them in person. (I would think that cobrashells has seen them up close)
Cactus flowers are always a surprise to see. These are very well done. My daughter and family have just boarded a plane after a week in Tucson. They were able to go horse back riding into the desert. they had a wonderful time. I can't wait to hear all about it tomorrow. I've been babysitting the goats, chickens and dog while they were away.
Terrific images Shaun. Hard to pick a fave here, but I do like the slight backlighting effect in the first one.
Gorgeous blossoms skillfully captured.

So very beautiful! Great job in capture. Especially #1. Sandy
Again my thanks to all who enjoyed the cactus pictures and I have to agree that the backlighting on #1 makes it my favorite also. I still haven't figured out what caused the massive bloom because the weather did not change until after the bloom occurred.
