While hiking with my children this spring in Snow Canyon we came across the most beautiful prickly pear cactus in bloom. The blossom was the most incredible shade of fushia. The flower set against the red sandstone was stunning.
The colors of this bracelet reminds me of that beautiful hike. I hope it reminds you of something beautiful in your life.

A Whipple's Fishhook (Sclerocactus whipplei) in bloom at the western edge of Colorado. Note the fish hook shape of some of the spines.
Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus in bloom, with pink magenta flowers, in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, in the Colorado Desert, San Diego County, California.
I can't find the label on this cactus so I can't tell you its name, I'm afraid. But it's beautiful in bloom - with palest lilac pink petals and delicate scent. Sadly the blooms only last 24 hours. Very strong tonal range in this image because of the sun on the bloom. ISO 160, exposure 1/280th second and f 8.
In NE NM mid June, in the middle of an extended drought. The magic of nature keeps drawing me to it.
We have had a backyard Cactus Grove for some time. The blossoms bloom overnight for one night only and close up by mid-morning the next day. This is the largest bloom we have had as I counted 24 blossoms this morning.
