Watch the
dancing cactus
move, oh
so smoothly and
del-i-cate-ly
wrap its
slender arms
around itself
in a graceful
stance;
striking a
prickly pose
in joyous
succulent
CELEBRATION !
See the
baby bumps
swell with
ecstatic
pride
as mama
showcases
a brief
(but glorious)
shrill and frilly
jazz trumpet solo!

I enjoy cacti–of which there are many here in the desert. You’ve taught me that it’s worth while to look a bit closer.

This brought me some smiles this morning – mama and babes. Curling flowers and beauty short lived. Well done!

Cacti definitely are beautiful to behold….and especially when they bloom, they are worthy of a celebration for sure.
