Theme Day: Bright Colors

Today's theme day is bright colors. Here is a photo of a vibrant cactus flower.

I used my macro lens to capture this image.

The colors are natural as this is the way this cactus flower really looks in real life.

Truly amazing what a cactus can produce.

Today is Sunday so that means new travel photos. Check out gorgeous Burano, Italy at Viva la Voyage!

    Is this your agave?

    We're meme neighbors at CDP this month, forever positioned beside each other! We always visit neighbors. Your photo is fabulous!

    Absolutely fantastic and really bright. Well photographed. I like mother nature's colours very much. They are unbeatable.

    I wish you a colourful and successful (month of) August.

    Now that is bright! I wasn't sure what it was. Before I read, I thought it was a super nova or something. This is beautiful.

    Another brilliant cactus flower macro. This has opened our eyes to the central spot of a flower that we otherwise would not have noticed or studied.

    Wow, stunning colours. We saw a television program last night on fauna and flora of Arizona. It looked magnificent.
