One of the wonderful things about Enchanted Rock is the way that life clings to every crack in the otherwise soil-free granite dome. These cactii are fairly common and are currently blooming.Despite their abundance, however, I’ve had a hard time identifying the type – can anyone help out?
nice shot Dave!! I must have missed this one, but the wind was blowing so hard I thought I was gonna get blown away so my time at the top was limited – love the shot my friend!
I didn’t see any of these over on the “main” rock but we walked up the left-side rock first and they were pretty common over there. The wind was quite a challenge – this was handheld and I had to bump the ISO to keep my shutter speeds as high as possible to try to counteract all the movement that was going on.
Just beautiful,
How nice capture, the contrast of the flowering cactus….
