Straight Up!

Simi, CA

* 1-12-07 *

I had thought I had lost my chance to capture the stunning blooms
of this cactus, but when I saw this beauty had sprouted up, I hung
a U-ie & captured this single bloom.. Straight out of the Z, from
about 8' away. Sigh... It's an enormous bloom from a 16' succulent.

I'm sooo exhausted. Apparently a hemoglobin count of 8.1 was even
too low for my body & that appears to be why I've been so ill the
past few weeks. Sorry, no comments from me again tonight ~ but
many thanx to everyone who has been so kind to me lately.. really!

So many delicate features in there. Quite a challenge for a photographer! You have a gentle way of introducing it to us.

Beautiful photo, soft and gentle. Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well, and yes, that is a low hemoglobin count. Liver, spinach and B12 shots......
