    Haiku : Is a fading blossom better than no blossom at all? I think so.
    Photo: Beautiful composition… you make a fading blossom look stunning. I love the color of the spikes contrasting with the red flower.

      I want everyone to know, including you, that the blossom is from a nearby ocotillo. It has nothing to do with the cactus—except for being impaled on it!

    the blossom
    speared by the cactus
    jealous rage?

    Love your work as always 🙂
