I Mowed the Yard and Found This WOW!!

2007.06.14

OOOOOOOh

AAAAHHHH

OOOOOOO

Looks like hands reaching out

It was time to break out the John Deere Tractor and get the yard mowed. I mean after all the grass was a foot and a half tall.
I don't know what kind of cactus this is,but it is pretty. I was only going to post one shot of the cactus because the 2nd shot has an ant crawling across the flower,but I just can't be serious that's just how I am. :) Oh and then I added a few more just cuz... :)

Oh deere John, I am sooooo glad that this was not mangled in any way!! This deere must have been gentle or the blades required sharpening?? These are so stunning and the colours just radiate right out of the frame!! Bravo!! Very well done!! So, now is the time to re-plant this somewhere that a deere cannot get at it!!

Ooooh this is just gorgeous!! What a treat to find it. It almost looks like a small barrel cactus. The blooms are stunning. I love the bright pinks and yellow!

Who knew photoblog could inspire yard work! I'm going to go home and see if any treasures are hidden in my yard (besides the horse manure!) Great post.
