Blooming Cactus In Buena Vista, Colorado (May 5, 2006) |
 |
Check this out! I was out photographing Mt. Princeton (photo below) and upon walking in a field, I came across all of these small blooming cacti. It is just amazing to see these kinds of plants growing in Central Colorado! |
 |
What pretty and colorful flowers! |
 |
Now all of these were probably only a few inches in length. All of them could be held in one's hand. |
 |
I am guessing these are in the golden barrel family. |

Lastly, here was the mountain that I was originally photographing for another web site. This is Mt. Princeton, a "14er" in Colorado in that it's summit is 14,000+ feet above sea level. The small town of Buena Vista in central Colorado is well known for its stunning view of this mountain to the west. |
