Large Cactus Flower In The Early Morning Light

I photographed this flower, which had opened over-night, early this morning before it had bright sunlight on it. Two hours after I photographed it the flower was half closed but covered with bees. It's spring and a lot of our cactus are starting to bloom. The light was soft early this morning, and I photographed the flowers using both a strobe and natural light, but preferred the natural light version, which you see here.

 

If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might enjoy my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here, and has over 360 images in it.
