I roamed my five acres trying to find something to celebrate and the cactus bloom was it.
Every thing is burning up with record breaking temperatures, we are in an exceptional drought
and the air is full of smoke from the wildfires in west Texas......but the bloom brightened my spirits. Very few wildflowers this year.

Prickly Pears always come through in the clutch. I hope these last storms brought you some relief.

Yep, the sky has been pretty much brown until it rained today, finally! Hoping it helped put those fires out. Beautiful blossom. I love this! V

Your weather/fires sound awful. This is a nice reprieve from it.

Beautiful rich yellow, Petesie. Stay safe. The wildfires sound quite ferocious.
