OH I just LOVE all these close-ups! Aren't they fantastic? The many aspects of nature continue to amaze me. SOME people might drive through these areas and not realize the unbelievable beauty everywhere. More...more...more

rts551,
I see a black frog attempting to jump off the top of the broken cactus....I find myself listening to discussions between those cacti.....their postures are like stick figures relating to eachother....hard to pay attention to the road sometimes.

That thing is no doubt hundreds of years old......

Woody,
Fascinating to see the various stages of the flower, you seem to have them all from bud to seed dispursal. What gorgeous colors, I can see why they appeal to you.

Natalie,
The shapes are fascinating aren't they. It is always fascinating to see how nature repeats itself in design. Like fractals, mathmatical sequences, reproducing the shapes of shellfish and organisms.

BahaWarrior,
That cactus is older than all of your ages combined. Anyone guess how old that one really is? Comitan showed me one in La Paz that I recall was older than Jesus.

Trips,
Love the way you have captured the light, it is the light isn't it? With flat light that picture would be very ordinary, capturing the light as you have has made that cactus Pop!
Thanks,
