The Cactus are Blooming

This will be a post that will share with you pictures of the plants that have been blooming for the past few weeks and have stunned us with the glory around us.  It is impossible to realize that the Prickly Pear plants ( we would call them cactus) that had looked so brown/black, rotting and dead in some cases are now producing such beautiful blooms. I am speechless and excited to see the earth come to life with such beautiful flowers everywhere we go. We have mixed in some other wild flowers and included a few butterflies as well.

I could only wish these photos were clearer and could share the gorgeous beauty they are displaying. I am sending them to share the joy they have given us. We are keeping our eyes on the beauty of the earth!  Spring is everywhere!
