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!!!

I have only had one other cactus I wasn't sure I would be able to keep it alive in this northern hemisphere but it seems to be ok and it grew some flowers.

(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.
Este es uno de mis cactus
esta cuajado de hijitos y
ya no caben más en la
maceta, que se ha quedado
pequeña.
Cuando pase el verano
tendremos que pasarla
a otra mayor.

I am always amazed at the beautiful blooms that spring from such a menacing plant. I suppose it's nature's way of balancing.
