A beautiful rich red cactus, draping its flowers over our neighbours' (L and P) front stairs is a sight worth stopping to look at as you walk past. To my delight I was invited over to enjoy and photograph these stunning blooms which have a pinky glow in the sunlight.
Love the cascade of stamens from the green centre, reminds me of a waterfall.
Loving the vivid colours combined with amazing structures, I believe we have a very creative God.
