If the dough is holy, bread is too!

Maybe some of the prettiest cactus blooms I've ever seen. Of course, not a surprise at all to have them come from your succulent/cactus garden. Superb banner!

Only time will tell.....

It takes a lot to impress an old fart like me. I don't like cacti (long story from childhood) and never been a pink flower type of guy, but WOW!

I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Thanks for sharing your passion and photography skills, @Baja_Costero.
