Pretty obvious you like them Chief. You raised the bar on this post. I think the composition on #3 is excellent and am partial to #2 and #4 as well. #1 is impressive too but I've seen a lot of images of cactus flowers but very few like #3. Keep them coming.
I'll tell you a secret that no one else will ever know, Reuss. Unless you let the cat out of the bag! I have this thing about a beauty and the beast theme. If you look, you will see it through out my posts. Not all...but many, maybe most. #1 is a classic. Beautifully colorful flower, to attract attention, from insects to humans. Backed by a dark nightmare of deadly, inescapable, hooked claws. It's the way the world works.
I'm glad you liked #2, 3 & 4.

Tom, you've got to be careful with bets like that. Roadrunner would take that in a heartbeat. They do it every day. Meep, Meep.

Is'nt there a penalty for taking anything out of Nat'l Parks? Leave only footprints behind
depending on the park, they prefer you stay on trails and don't even leave footprints behind on fragile soils. But do take lots of pictures!

I used to patrol bridle trails in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on horseback for the Park. Visitors were allowed to walk anywhere they pleased. Bikes and horses were limited to trails. As far as picking things, the policy was you could pick anything you could eat, like berries and nuts but even with that there were limitations on things like Morell mushrooms. So it was illegal to pick flowers or even fallen leaves. I used to tell people it was OK to pick that flower or leaf but you had to eat it. They got the message without the sting.
Other parks may be different.
