Friday, April 17 2009 ~ Wildflowers in the Pasture

It was almost dark Friday evening and I needed some photo therapy...I was headed out the door when I was told we had company coming over, ugh!! So I put the camera down and hurried through the house, picking things up and cleaning...Our company never showed up, sigh and I had a few minutes before dark so I literally ran down the driveway to where I had seen some prickly pear cacti blooming...There was actually a bunch of flowers blooming...I used the Macro lens and the ring flash...

Coral Bean (Cherokee Bean), Perennial Shrub....
it reminds me of little red swords...

The different stages of a bloom on a Prickly Pear Cactus...




Above and Below are Bush Pea (Yellow Wisteria) blooms.
I was playing with the Macro and ring flash as it was pretty darn dark while I was attempting photos and the wind was blowing pretty hard too!




I loved this prickly pair cactus bloom...it looked like a rose...
