For my brother in-law that loves turtles
That is a beautiful picture and I read it as Reflection, no big deal. I mess up my spelling too.

Brought back memories of getting my cow ready for the 4-H Fair. Lots of work goes into training, feeding and spa tire before the fair. We used to use oil on horns and hooves to make them shine and braid the tail hairs to give them a nice fluffy, wavy look. Something I'll never forget.

The first picture with the bee covered in pollen is a beautiful capture. All of the pictures are outstanding.

I enjoy creating B/W photo's but often wonder am I the only one who likes the end result
Excellent. B/W brings out depths color doesn't.

It doesn't have a set time for blooming, could be in June or July. This causes anticipation for date the buds finally enlarge and get ready to spread their beautiful petals and release the heady perfume. there is a web site that posts the blossom watch: https://tohonochulpark.org
Thank you for looking and nice comments.

Thank you so much for updating the information! I too would be intoxicated by this plant! Do you have yearly watch-parties, or keep it all to yourself? 
The Tohono Chul https://tohonochulpark.org/ Park and gardens has a large number of these cacti, and they do hold a watch each summer. It is an international gathering to see over 300 plants in bloom, just for one night. We keep ours to ourselves and there are several homes with them in the area.
Thank you for looking.

More information on this photo posted 7/20/17. This was taken in our yard in Picture Rocks, AZ., north-west of Tucson, AZ. This species also known as Night Blooming Cereus cactus blooms once a year. opening during the night and withering when sunlight touches it. The bees are intoxicated by the perfume and flock to the flowers.
