I went to my friend Carol's house to photograph a cactus blossom she told me about.
Well, I ended up with more than one. Here is a gallery of Carol and Rex' yard.

This photo was taken under cloudy skies and the one below under sunny skies. I
think the clouds made a better photo....they are all just as they came out of the camera
I think the back of the flower is as pretty as the front.









UNDER SUNNY SKIES


Nikon Coolpix 4500
1/109s f/5.6 at 16.2mm iso100 full exif

The petals look so soft and delicate. Wonderful detail, too.

Very nice. It's almost like a landscape inside the blossom.

This is beautiful, Petesie. I agree with you-bright shade is best!

Fabulous shot. Wish these cactus blossoms would last longer, but they are spectacular when they blossom.

What a very perfect little flower and you have shown it well. White is not so easy to do.

Great shot! I took one of one of these blossoms (Easter Lily Cactus) last week while visiting family in Arizona. Fascinating blossoms! You had better lighting - mine was too close to sunset.
