The prickly pear flowers are now long gone...It is just the "pricklies and the sticklies" that are around these
hot, super sizzling, summer days...
But
that's the beauty of art...One can make a cactus bloom
whenever one's little heart desires!
Have a "prickly and stickly"-free...cool Cactus Monday All! :)

Really, really like this contrasting composition - and yes agree creating art is such fun when you can add whatever you fancy completely out of season if you want.
Love the new venture with the HeArt
project and thanks for the info on Milagros. Will be interesting to see if we can tell the difference between your imagined heArts and using your collection for reference.
A beautiful prickly in bloom. Happy Cactus Monday.
Inventive and seductive colors. Love the intricate design at the bottom... brings you below the ground into a area of wonder and suspense.
Its so cold here, but your pic and words have transported me to those long hot summer days that I am sooooo missing! I love the colours in the cactus and the wonderful blending!
ooooooooooh, delicious!
It's a little bit Asian in flair and flavor. East meets West!
Hey we both did prickly pear trees today. I like yours better than mine though.
