New camera in hand, I scouted our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago in search of perfection. Unexpected rain left the ground soaked, but mud caking my favorite tennis shoes didn’t deter me from finding just the right prickly pear cactus for a photo-op. I love the surprises on what my lens captures hidden under petals.
Another day, another location found me dripping sweat in sauna heat as I snapped more shots of sun drenched cacti thriving and surviving, and providing nutrients to insects crawling along the flower’s edges and dipping into its depths.
Nature’s perfection captured with my camera.
