Just a cactus but I loved the rich golden color of it. ( did some additional research and found out that this catus is: {from wickipedia} Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, often called chin cactus, is a species of cactus from South America commonly grown as a houseplant. The most popular cultivars are mutants which completely lack chlorophyll, exposing the underlying red, orange or yellow pigmentation. These cultivars are often called moon cactus. Since chorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis, these mutations die as seedlings unless grafted onto another cactus with normal chlorophyll.)

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

They look like the kind of ouches that will hurt just as much coming out as going in. Love the color...How unusual Kathy.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

Great colours in the cactus, Kathy. Could use a little more depth in the focus to bring out the details and sharpness.
