Blooming Cactus

It's unusual to spot one of these in bloom in the middle of the day as they tend to be night bloomers.  I was lucky getting this shot.  As they say, "Better to be lucky than good".  But being good doesn't hurt when added to being lucky.

Morning Glow

Normally a night blooming cactus, I caught this Cereus early enough in the morning before it closed.
