Beautiful light on this wonderfully colored cactus, Patricia! I was out camping in the Utah desert on Easter, but it was too early for cactus flowers there. #10640262

Patricia A. Casey level-deluxe April 03, 2013

Yes..it all depends....parts of Utah are higher than the Phoenix, AZ area....so maybe May and June when their flowers start....Thank you for viewing and your kinds words...... #10640419

I agree with Nadia. This is excellent! The darkness gives me a sense of density as it we were viewing this in the moonlight. It's a very special image!
