They are not yet flowers, but they are going to be––and aren’t they intriguing? The ants just seem to be rolling in whatever delicious elixir this cactus is secreting!

It was actually a very closeup view of a cactus…not yet quite in bloom, but so intriguing I had to cheat a bit. That’s allowed, right? Off to the beach with 5 friends for a writing retreat today so may not get posted until late. Is your “obligation” over yet or are you still under pressure?
