I ended the year feeling a bit prickly. But I do not like to stew in negativity and so this morning I decided to spend a few moments photographing the literal prickles on the few cacti I have scattered about my home.
No problems were solved but the act of movement, of looking outside of myself, was a wonderful exercise. And, to be honest, I think I’ve taken these cacti for granted. Tucked in various corners, they need so little care that I sometimes forget about them as I fawn over delicate sprouts and herbs and the occasional flowers and veggies I grow indoors.
I’m glad they were there on this New Year’s Day. 😉

Maybe there’s also some part of you that needs a loving look, and this work will lead you there. They are ethereal and gentle, so I look at them in a new way, so thanks for that.
Hope they bloom for you soon, too!
Thanks, Laura. 😉
