very cool shots. I remember as a kid always being fascinated by the soft fuzzy looking cacti that my grandmother had on her window sill. I found out the hard way soft and fuzzy they aren't...lol

There are so many details in the cacti and your macros capture them perfectly. For some reason the next to last photo reminds me of a snowflake, I love it.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
