Before we got out of the neighborhood I spotted this glorious sight. Now few will get excited about prickly pear, but these flowers last only one day and then they are gone.... and the sun was just right!!! This is just a few of the numerous blooms on this huge cactus......So we were a few minutes late to getting back to the grandbaby....</div><p></p>Denise Beard Art Experiencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00942301669523249892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109150945387250083.post-18149966829804722432022-07-12T19:44:00.000-05:002022-07-12T19:44:07.509-05:00Heading West<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOGLjLfuPvTNWYTunwUnUyJOGPZf91zwJfhBarNWW_92czV5zL7-L3wB1lVKtAyBHkcH9spID95RSHVzCf2dWF4oJrC0UO7-nL9SKqJLvC2dagWIjOctKun-IQXi2_dZ4DQ3lflxFf0y-RObWk_IE8zSR1yH2SzK5rawB8W4IdZrJ8fo6YKK_QAKW5/s1849/Heading%20West,%2012%20x%2016,%20pastel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1375" data-original-width="1849" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOGLjLfuPvTNWYTunwUnUyJOGPZf91zwJfhBarNWW_92czV5zL7-L3wB1lVKtAyBHkcH9spID95RSHVzCf2dWF4oJrC0UO7-nL9SKqJLvC2dagWIjOctKun-IQXi2_dZ4DQ3lflxFf0y-RObWk_IE8zSR1yH2SzK5rawB8W4IdZrJ8fo6YKK_QAKW5/w400-h297/Heading%20West,%2012%20x%2016,%20pastel.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Heading West</div><div style="text-align: center;">12 x 16, pastel</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Such a fun painting to create!
