When I saw this, thought wow, how'd she get up that high. Lucky you didn't fall off the ladder into the cactus and knock it over. That would be my luck!
Hurray Kate! I'd love to get this close to the blooms. They look less nectary than I thought they would. I imagined they would just be dripping with nectar like some of the other cacti. Lovely shot.
ha ha now that's committment. Gorgeous flowers , do they smell nice?. My MIL has a cacti that flowers for 1 day a year and smells like rotten meat.. phew...
I have always wanted a good photo of the blooms of a Saguaro, our state flower, however the blooms are usually 15 feet in the air so then I try to get a photo I get bottoms and sides. A friend called me to say she found one only about 7 feet off the ground. I tossed a ladder in the car and took off. The cactus was in the median of a busy street so plenty of folks saw me take out a ladder and climb up. Other complications? MANY bees got there before me and a small hole in a rocks at the bottom of ladder had me thinking snake, and I have vertigo. Worth all the risks!!
