Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Cactus Macros
Oddly enough, that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing! Between the birds at the feeder and the genuine macros on the Christmas Cactus, it’s been all close-ups and macros for several weeks … with a few more weeks to come.
Tonight, though, we’re going to make an excursion to see if we can get the light on the Common. It’s cold, but it’s very clear and as far as I know, we aren’t expecting any rain or sleet or snow … or for that matter, toads and frogs, descending from on high.
A good time for cameras for as long as we can stay outside. If there isn’t much wind, we have a little longer.
I can’t tolerate cold as I used to. I was always warm, but these days, I’m always cold … even when it isn’t all that cold. So I guess we’ll see. Maybe I’ll wrangle with the extremely warm by complicated heavy winter coat I own.
I never wear it because I can’t always figure out what all those buttons, zippers, elastic, cords do. By the time I manage to get myself into it, I’m exhausted and need a nap. We shall see!
Meanwhile … closeups and macros!

They are. I love their translucency. The way you can see the light through the leaves is special.

I am loving your Christmas cactus photos. My cats, especially the younger one, would have a field day trying to get to the plant to, you know…..just check it out. Better to enjoy yours, so thank you for the beauty from afar!

My cats used to decapitate flowers, too. So do some of the dogs. I’m very careful where I put them!

My Christmas cactus is still alive, the origial plant and it looks like the buds will soon be opening. The store has not more, they were only there for a day or two.

Look for roots. If you see ANY, plant them in somewhat sandy and well-drained soil. Don’t get fancy. They are cactus and they just need a relatively dry place with light.

Rose bought some of those recently. But ours are pink.
She gave some away as gifts.
