Fleeting Beauty

My backyard cactus bloomed again this week. 
Two gorgeous blooms only there to enjoy for one day.

  2. It would be sad to be away on business and miss the one day the cactus bloomed.

    I think an annual blossom calls for a glass of wine.

  5. One day? That's unfortunate. But now you've got a photo of them which you could frame and hang and look at all the time, right?

  7. Last week, mine had nine blooms on it. I didn't get out and get a picture. Hopefully, it will bloom again soon. I love these blossoms. They are so delicate and beautiful.

  14. I saw a prickly pear with lots of blooms the other day on our street but didn't have my camera. A far cry from what we had last year, but beautiful just the same.
