These photos, the moist and vibrant colors, reminded me of the Pacific Northwest. It's that moisture and dampness that helps to makes growth so brilliant.

These are all lovely, but the cactus bud is my favorite. It took me by surprise as I scrolled down - it's captivating.

I'd love to see you at my blog: Picture This . . .
