We saw a few
flowers on this hike as well. The
prickly pear cacti were beginning to show their spring blooms. I still found it amazing to find cactus in
such a tropical environment…..
Cactus Blossom
This bloom is
just opening. I like this shot, tho,
because of the contrast between the delicate bloom and the scruffy cactus with
its very sharp barbs.
Full Bloom
And, here’s a
bloom, fully opened in all its glory! I
felt so lucky to be able to capture it in profile. You can really see the flower’s detail from
this angle.
Mangrove Buds
I have to admit,
I never really thought of mangrove trees blooming, but here is one tiny little
bud nestled in the leaves of the tree.
The other buds aren’t yet open, but I’m guessing they would be soon!
Enjoy!
