 flowering-curacao-prickly-pear-cactus Good evening family of friends how was the day? Mine of course was busy again, you know me no time to slow down. I took the camera and the guard dogs on a three hour hike thru the desert this morning looking for new things you might enjoy. Our good friend Joe in Rapid City asked about flowers on those barrel cactus and if I had ever seen any?? Unfortunately no was the answer but I am still looking. I did find this nice prickly pear flower this morning in full bloom with a little honey bee inside, thought that was pretty cool. These flowers you see here usually bloom in the morning and get eaten within hours! The lizards and iguanas love these things as well as countless other little creatures so when you see one around here shoot it fast because chances are when you pass by later it will be gone! Besides the cactus flower I found some tiny little mud crabs this morning, very hard to photograph and a new area full of really nice fossil shells eroding out of the wall, so lot’s of new pictures. The dogs ran and ran mostly just chasing each other and always on the lookout for those lizards that they will never catch, it’s just fun to watch!
At around noon I received a phone call from work asking if I wanted to go take photos from the helicopter but had to decline because of appointments I had to keep at my eye doctor, what a bummer. I spent a good part of my day doing un-fun errands what a major waste of time!
That’s about it for me today, Aimee just came home with some Chinese food, sweet and sour chicken, smells great! Many thanks for all the compliments on yesterdays photo, the hermit crab, it turns out it was a big hit! Till tomorrow, Barry
