Thank you so much Michelle & Neal....I appreciate the viewing and comments...Neal in the 13 years I've lived in Arizona so far I've managed to escapt falling into a cactus (never say never)....however....I did get nicked real bad by one fish hook barrel that I was trying to photograph ...I was trying to move one of the spines out of the flower and yes indeed there was another there just waiting for me....I skipped the photo session that day.....bleeding was pretty bad and I figured that girl just did not want her picture taken...at least the way I wanted to take the photo! Cheers to you both & have a wonderful evening....
