Friday Floral – Orange

This cactus flower image was taken this spring at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ. The image has been sitting on my hard drive for several months as I have had mixed thoughts on whether I like it. When going through my files from this spring, it is surprising how many cactus flower images I made. Typically I concentrate on wildflowers, but this year was different. Why? I don’t know, but for some reason they caught my attention and my photography was different this spring.  And I like different!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! For some of you, fall is here. But for those of us in the desert, temperatures below 100 will be quite welcoming!

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal. ~ Elbert Hubbard
