Here is a macro photo of a cactus flower. You can see the textures and the pollen of this colorful flower that was blooming in the hot desert. Bees come to visit these flowers and the life of the flowers re short-lived. You can see the buds of other flowers that have not opened yet in the background of this flower.

One can only be thankful for being allowed to see that photography, in the middle of winter, in a city of so much grey. Brilliant colours indeed. Please have you all a nice Wednesday.
So colorful!
Oooh, yummy colors.

Julie, this is a Princess of the desert.
When we come close and look at the details, nature is revealed as the most remarkable artist.
What a beautiful color! Excellent shot Julie.
Amazing colors and shapes. Your macro lens was put to good use.
Gorgeous shot! The fiery colors remind me of a sunset. I also chose a flower picture today... but mine shouldn't have been flowering for two months still.
Beautiful colors and texture.
So bright flowers out there! This is a great one.
What a great image. Beautiful flower and great texture.
What a great macro shot! I've only started experimenting with my new micro/macro lens and have a ways to go in gaining proficiency.
Bees must be ecstatic to see the flower such as this one... what a color! Wonderful macro shot.
This is just eye popping gorgeous.
if only we could have flowers with so much color this time of year. You are fortunate for that. Beautiful photo Julie.
It's a shame they don't last longer than they do.
Yeah, macro lens! Great shot and thanks for some cactus info.
