I chose today to finally relax. What a week! We were metal detecting for nuggets this morning. Got lots of exercise! When my arm was tired from swinging the detector I picked up a camera and took these pictures of a couple of barrel cactus. The desert is getting green already. New life.

| Barrel Cactus hiding beneath a bush. Desert plants have a symbiotic relationship with plants around them. |

| A cluster of Barrels. My favorite kind. They will likely flower in less than a month. |

| The other side of the cluster making a total of five Barrels. More pics coming when they flower. |
This was a wonderful day. Had lunch in the fresh air. About 70 with a light breeze. It was great! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful pictures. We are cold again here. Had a dusting of snow last night. Tonight the temps will get down to single digits.. Burrrrrr.. I sure will be glad when Spring arrives!

I love barrell cactus. Years ago I had several. How nice to live where they grow...naturally and in their finest glory. Beautiful photos, Catherine. oxo Judy
