Mas Cacti

From my favorite backcountry cactus garden in Mojave NP several years ago. The light was a little harsh but that just made the cacti more threatening for some reason. So many varieties here with the largest barrels probably 30" high.

Very colorful and varied collection you caught here Dave.  The large barrels really stand out against the smaller plants and I'm enjoying the rocky background.

This looks like a great cactus garden, Dave.  Love all the different sizes, shapes, and colors here.  What a neat place to explore.

Love the scattered red barrels D.A. Nice placement and composition. Bright yes, but pretty well handled. Nice to see the variety and the greening of this area a bit.

Quite the collection, Dave.  I like all the textures and colors.  I do wish there'd been an angle that let you end the sides of the frame without bisecting the cacti.
