Our recent heat wave is causing the prickly pears to explode with flowers. I can't seem to shoot them fast enough, been working on cactus flowers again for the first time in years. Something about a global pandemic helps one appreciate the simplest of things, a flower amid the needles and thorns, going about its business of propagating the species, letting the bees know it's open for business even if we aren't. @ Tucson Mountain Park
