17Jan06 Cactus Garden - 9813

Photo a Day, Day 293...I had to take a trip into Mystic today and so I took my camera along thinking I might stop and take some shots as long as it wasn't terribly bitter out... well I stopped... didn't get too far as I had forgotten to take any memory cards with me... DOH!... So this is of the cactus garden my son put together this weekend after reading "101 Nature Experiments" and I added a small clay pot I bought during our visit to Arizona last year... Unfortunately, thinking desert hasn't made it any warmer here...

Very nice cactus garden Jonathan and good shot mom.
As for Arizona, they say we are unseasonably warm for December & January, but I'm not complaining,

I love the addition of that lovely pot. A nice comp CJ, great colour too.

Great shot CJ. Love the spokes (looks like green peppers to me, but I haven't had dinner yet :)) and the clay pot fills out the frame nicely.
Tomorrow, rain drops.

Beautiful shot! Lovely composition and fabulous details in that cactus! Makes me think warmth, even if its not! ;-)

Nicely composed and the pointy spines are razor sharp!
