Spending a few days relaxing here in SoCal before heading to Yosemite and 
then home.  I love cactus flowers because I rarely see them.

Wind was blowing like crazy and occasional rain, but cranked up the ISO to 
400 (that?s cranking for me) and at 1/2000 second froze those suckers in 
their tracks.

A bit slower shutter.

Very unusual cactus, for me at least.

Missed this bloom by a few days.


Comments and criticism welcome.   100 APO of course, on D7000, so view 
large.  It can take it.
