Cactus Garden Giant

Thanks for comments.

Nice shot, Jeri

Excellent image composition and subtle color...

 

'looks like one I photographed at the National Botanic Garden in DC. the circles of color and radials of texture... nice

 

Peace

Thanks for the comments. Ed - this plant is in our cactus garden.

Jeri, how do you protect this succulent from freezing? Agave will handle frost but I thought it freezes easily which kills it.

We live in Temecula,Ca in the De luz area. It has a micro climate where they grow a lot of avocado trees. We rarely get frost.

I passed through Temecula on my way to Anza-Borrego this spring. I was surprised how far the sprawl has spread... I drove down from Antelope Valley and then at Temecula crossed the mountains... I didn't feel comfortable till I was well into the mountains.

 

Peace

Yes Temecula has been ruined by developers. We live on the west side in the foothills on five acres of oaks. Been their 20 yrs now. Only go to town when I have to. I love Anza-Borega. I have lots of photos of dez.

Excellent composed photograph and perfect exsposure. Beautiful Jeri!

Merni - Thanks for the comment. Regards, Jeri

Jeri, I like this image. Beautiful lines and composition. Cheers, Sondra

I like this a lot, too! Such great lines and colors. I visited Temecula a couple weeks ago. My son is starting school in Marrieta Hot Springs next month. You have a lot of great photo subjects down there!

Thanks for the positive comment. It is a small world. I would trade your photo ops with Temecula, any day. Regards Jeri

Maybe not when it's -20 here and fogged in!

Thanks Dallas: Every year this plant grows a lot. It is fun to take photos of it. Regards - Jeri
