    The cacti at the top almost look soft enough to sleep on!

    Ooo very nice! Great lighting brought out lots of good textures. I think this large size is wonderful and does your photo justice. thumb.gif

    Thanks for the comment. I did shoot these in Arizona. It was not a nursery, per se, but they might well have been planted together, as this was at a Botanical Garden (the name of which escapes me now). Here are a couple of different views of the same cluster.

    And from another viewpoint...

    Azzaro,

    I still can't remember the name of that Garden, but it seems to me it was not all that far away from the town of Eloy, where I was staying at the time.

    Inspiration
    I have lived in Scottsdale, AZ and you have inspired me to visit the Botanical Gardens for the first time to take some pix!

    Wow! That's cool. I don't think I've ever inspired anyone to do anything before.

    Well, perhaps when I was a kid, I might have inspired my mom to pull her hair out! :D

    But seriously, you should follow up on that trip to the Botanical Gardens. That place has inspirational views around every twist in the path. I got lots of good shots the day I was there. Luckily, that was in February, so the heat factor wasn't a major issue. Can't say I would care to be there in the summer!
