Belated Happy Valentine’s Day, Vera. I have special affection for cacti – especially those in Arizona. Long story involving my family. Enough to say that I love your photos. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Beautiful flowers. I wouldn’t mind getting some of these for Valentine’s or any day.
I also did flowers for Valentine’s Day.

I checked out your flower photos and they are gorgeous. I also will be borrowing some of those quotes, I’m sure.
Pictures of flowers always bring a smile to my face, so thank you! While I’m not a fan of cacti, it is hard to deny they are beautiful when in bloom. Love verbena!

I agree with jan…I thought it was a reclining woman as wel!!.I do love the flowers on cacti bushes. The fact that they can survive in the dry heat and still have such wonderful blooms is nature at its best.

So wonderful how flowers can thrive in the rather harsh desert climate in Arizona. Very pretty ones here. Happy Valentine’s Day

I am a Flickr friend that lives in your part of the world, and I love seeing her images from your corner of the world. The flowers on these desert plants are amazing. Thanks for dropping by my blog today and for your comments.There are camera specific bags. I will try and find a link for you.
Jill: I’m confused. I thought you lived in Australia? Definitely not my part of the world.
Jan may have started a trend. . .I’d just started to write when I saw her comment and I went back and sure enough, I could see it. Don’t you love the power of suggestion? Thanks for the Valentine flowers – they are beautiful.

Lovely photographs. When I first looked at the flower and wall in Sedona, I thought the wall was a naked woman laying on her side. Do you see that too?
I must say, you guys are more imaginative (or have dirtier minds) than me! I just saw a rock wall. How boring!
