Description
A slightly belated birthday wish for you Brigitte! [Also known as blondeblurr or *BB* here on Rendo].
May I wish you "Life At The Top" for your entire next year.
The "Life At The Top" in this photo are three blossoms on top of a barrel cactus at Sunnylands, in Southern California. We visited public gardens here last October.
Worth a zoom.

Superb capture and dedication my friend. God bless.
The presents keep on coming !!! ;)) and that makes me very happy, when I am discovering every day these wonderful new little morsels, sort of 'out of the way' - and not so regular to find as one would imagine - this cute little threesome is practically glowing with pride and lighten up my face ;))) THANK YOU very much Bill, you just seem to know - that I really like the unusual photos and you couldn't have wished for anything better ... "Life is good at the top" ;P - and it's amazing what you find on your travels, keep on roaming Bill, it's worth it ! Cheers my friend, BB

A most fantastic photo, and wish for our dear Brigitte. "all good things in three" is what we say here; so for BB*, blondeblurr, and Brigitte, each a wonderful future on the top!
Excellent shot and dedi for BB Bill.
Beautiful flowers !
A stunning colour!
a fiery beauty
Superb capture of these cactus blooms; well done, Bill!
What a beautiful card for Brigitte! Those flowers are such a great color, and since they're at Sunnylands, they're undoubtedly something quite special and exotic. Wonderful image!
wonderful image
A really lovely capture, Bill! Those flowers are beautiful, and those needles look wickedly sharp!
I've had a cactus in my window for years; it never bloomed till just now. I had to move it outside since it was getting too big for my window and the dang think just took off. It's full of yellow blossoms and is gorgeous. Hard to believe such a prickly, nasty plants can be so beautiful; you really caught those details in this shot!!
Wonderful Gift.... Aloha
Oooh, in zoom this is a burst of a shot! Almost like something made with lights inside it (like a glass sculpture, or as if it were underwater where the light permeates everything). Just beautiful how those orange flowers burst out like pure light. I love it. And the bokeh on the other grasses, petals, etc, is just right (as is the background). And your one-sided composition, with the mass of plant-stuff on the left, somehow makes those flowers stand out all the more, because the space on the left gives them strong contrast. This is a big burst, to me, big, bright, prickly, and beautiful. (Btw, I just realized there are 5 "b"s in that sentence---not intentional, but in line with Brigitte, blondeblurr and "BB"---in fact it's the same number.) A really bursting shot---I love it! And, from all I've read of Brigitte, fitting for her and for a trip that's coming up? Some big vacation? Well Happy Birthday Brigitte, and many more! Beautiful job, Bill. You even got some pink in those background leaves, which harmonize with the main flowers...Love this shot.
An excellent zoom to see the details in these three blossoms. Nasty looking 'fish hook' thorns!
But don't sit on it... might be painful.. Great cature Bill, makes a super Birthday Dedication.. Rob
