Flower in the Desert


	Flower in the Desert OK, so it's really a flower in the cactus exhibit at the U.S. Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C. A lovely, tiny flower rising above the thorns. Autosettings, natural light, handheld, manual focus James R. Jackson

Joyce, Colette, and Patricia,

Thanks so much! Patricia, the lighting was great for the shot; natural sunlight hindered only by the glass of the greenhouse. It really made the bloom shine! Thanks again! Jay
