Sometimes I have been out looking for birds when the light just gets absolutely amazing and there are no birds to be found. The situation becomes a race to find any subject to try to take advantage of the light and all too often that perfect light is so short lived that it’s gone before a subject can be located. I thought that was going to be the case with this Cactus Wren from our recent Arizona trip. The sun had been blocked by some clouds as it was getting close to the horizon and I didn’t think we would get much color. Just a few minutes before sunset, however, the sun went across a little gap in the clouds and it was absolutely glorious. To my surprise this Cactus Wren wasn’t too far away and it actually stayed on its perch while I moved around to get some of that sunset color in the background. That NEVER happens!!!

Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus
My cactus plant of many years had not previously flowered before this summer. The flower was rather spectacular at approximately 13 cm (5 inches) in diameter
(120/366) Busy day yesterday tidying the house up for an unexpected viewing & at the same time welcoming a family with 2 small kids & dog checking into the B&B. So I just had time for a quick snap of one of my cactus plants basking in the sunshine on the kitchen windowsill.
Another large cactus bloom at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. This one with pointier petals. I would guess this bloom is about 4 inches (~10cm) across

Spotted these rascals on a hiking trip to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. We were hiking the hidden meadows trail on the West side of the park. It was mid-day but I was still able to pull out some nice colors in the needles of these cactus.

And the delightful seed pod of an Aquilegia.
Mum bought me the cactus more than a decade ago. So cool to see these relatively new cuttings (about 2 years old) put out 3 beautifully exquisite flowers. They spend about 4 months growing then bloom for 48 hours before drooping. Such a delight for the eyes. So intricate and purposeful.

I was photographing these teddy bear cholla on the west side of Tucson Mountain in the morning shade, just below Gates Pass, when I was suprised by the rising sun popping over the ridge. I quickly reframed for a starburst and the glow of the sun on the cactus needles.
