Sprialing Succulent
PLAN07D-29
April 7, 2007
Ah, the cactus. Champion of the prickly touch and the CAM photosynthetic pathways, a terrific evolutionary organism. And, in certain lights, they are quite pretty as well. This particular cactus was captured on a morning after a rain and a heavy dew, with the droplets sprinkled over the lobed leaves. He's quite pretty, and I wanted to bring the spiral of spines and water back out into the light.
