I stumbled upon these flowers directly across the road from that Wickenburg Massacre memorial posted recently. Haven't any idea what name they go by other than my title, but they're pretty.

The prickliest colors I have seen in a while Doug. I can imagine a cross eyed porcupine falling in love with this beauty.
Excellent clarity.

A really clear and detailed photo of these beautiful cactus flowers my Friend. A very creative composition I think and an excellent use of light. I can see how these colors could be challenging to work with, however, I believe you captured them perfectly.

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

An interesting find and presentation of the blooms, Doug. The colours stand out against the cactus. I hope you didn't lean in too close to smell them.
