May 4: Late Entrant

Rancho Bernardo, CA


Earlier you all have mostly been reacting to the feet/toes shape of the pear cactus which I nominated as a few hours ago as my PaD.

I’d like to give you this more detailed view of the flower. It is the same “negative” as the ***”macro”*** also posted earlier.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/60s f/22.0 at 40.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Good work, Robin, but I think it's called Photo A Day, not Three Photos a Day! ROFLMAO!

I love this flower, Robin. The color and texture are beautiful.
Of course, it does remind me of my favorite margaritas, the ones made with prickly pear cactus juice on the Riverwalk in San Antonio.

This is beautiful. I'll bet it puts on quite a show when they are all in bloom.
Guest 05-May-2005 03:08
Now that is some kind of color - very cool flower.
Guest 05-May-2005 03:05
Very nice. I love the reds and oranges.

Beautiful. It looks like a candle holder with the flame burning.

Beautiful sharp close-up! The lighting is very good.
