ReplyDeleteThey look like yellow roses growing out of a prinkly cactus. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I love the yellow bloom and your little dog is cute. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these shots! And, I love prickly pear jam - it's so yummy!! Seems we're 'neighbors' - I'm down in Arrowhead Ranch - so when I saw the cactus blossoms, I felt right at home! Great macros!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I love prickly pear, when I lived in Texas we would take the pears and shinge the hairy needles off peel and eat so sweet and delicious.

Wow! I never saw a cactus flowering before. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cactus flowers! I've never tried to eat the prickly pear. I'll have to try making some jam sometime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely walk with us!
Beautiful desert flowers! I don't think I've ever seen prickly pear jam, but would try it if I ever do!
ReplyDeleteOh, what lovely shots! This environment is so different from ours here in New England, and so it's awesome seeing them!
