These were taken over the course of several hours this afternoon. Later tonight this flower will be completely open and tomorrow it will quickly fade and be gone. This is the first one from this particular cactus this year, but there will be several more after this one is gone.
Later, we’re going to watch the aerial fireworks at Wilson park through some fancy glasses that make the colors break into rainbows. This is looking out the back door this afternoon.
UPDATE: The finished product – image of the cactus flower early Saturday Morning . . .
