Artist Reply: Thanks Tazda! I went out to find blooms with my husband. These have a natural soft and waxy look to them. No photo editing needed to them. The blooms on these cacti are about fist sized on some of them.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Vera! I love the cactus blooms that I get to see. Some of them are large, and some small. These are almost fist size on some of the cacti. I am waiting for my cacti to begin to bloom to show some varieties of blossoms.

Artist Reply: Thank you Bianca! So glad you like this one.

Artist Reply: Thanks Loredana! I love cactus blossoms, some like these are so beautiful. They sure brighten up the desert with color.

Artist Reply: Thanks Michael! I've a few weeks before my own variety of cacti bloom. I have to fight the birds and paririe dogs for the pickly pear fruits. They make a nice candy.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joke! I wanted a nice clear shot of this one so I can study the blossom parts. These were lovely blooms.

Artist Reply: Thank you Mark! There are so many cacti blossoms through the year that bloom out here. Some are alien looking , but most are really beautiful.

Artist Reply: Thank you Emily! People always wonder why live in a desert? There is so much beauty here. The sunrise and set sets are amzing. The stars at night I can sit out and watch, as well as shooting stars. I listen to the coyotes and see them. I've a pair of roadrunners that steal dry dog food. I can take the heat more than the cold. Most of the year you can do things outside or at least the night. It makes you appreciate every blossom you find.
