These are just extraordinary - I've never been conscious of mass cactus flowerings before. What a treat, even if it's shortlived. Given that the action is so fast paced, perhaps some time lapses might be an option next year.

No worries; I rarely check the time stamps anyway. It's an unusual feature of the K3 though. Nice pose that shows off its head plume well - is this what you're calling a quail?

Big like for the bright colourful mix of spikes and soft parts. Sweet bokeh too. Must be close to the earliest you've posted too

nice light play

I do enjoy your vegetation shots, is that the right way to say that?

Agree with Graeme, light handled well. Nice juxtaposition.

For me it works well. good work with the blend.

Interesting effect, its pretty cool. Beautiful light to show off those colours.

Those flowers are just beauty. Have ony seen these in botanical gardens.

Thats some pretty intense light, handled it very well.
