As befits an arboretum, Boyce-Thompson has more than birds.

Photo Memory of the Week

Very nice Isabel. You did well not to blow out the reds, they often are. The detail is still there in them. Nice depth of field.
Jim – High praise indeed. It was over my head, or almost, with only the sky behind. Maybe that helped.
Makes me feel warm just to look at your photo! I think I’d like it hanging on my wall of my sewing room these cold January days.
Alison – Holler if you want a full-res (I might still have it!).
Cactus flowers are so lush, in great contrast to their dry environment – a celebration of life! Beautiful photo.
Judith – Thanks! We see very few of the flowers in our winter sojourn. Most arrive after we leave. But I’m pretty sure I don’t want to brave their spring temps just to see more cactuses in bloom!
