It's a beautiful time here. Red-headed cardinals sing sweet songs from their perch in our backyard trees. The cats laze in the sun and the squirrels in the trees scold them incessantly. Woodpeckers and hummingbirds too visit, on occasion.
Above all, these early days of summer are when the cacti are in bloom. How bright and showy their flowers are! Here are some pictures from around where we live and from near my university.
Have a colorful week!

Beautiful photos, Bindu! It looks lovely where you are, and the cactus blooms are so joyful.
(PS: Cacti are sometimes the portal between different worlds ... if you look!)
Its dipped back into cooler days here at the moment, and we certainly dont see any cactus in flower, so they are nice to see. Best wishes Blu x
Pretty!
Delightful colors and forms.
pretty flowewrs!
Have a nice coloful day, you, too!
I'm not a happy person at the moment but your flowers made me smile
So pretty!
Beautiful flowers!
Beautiful images Miss Bindu, who is that very pretty kitty lounging in your blog?
xxxooo
What beautiful pix bindu. I had a Christmas cactus once. My ability to keep it alive failed me. How do you kill a cactus? Beats me, but I managed to do it.
I love the colors and the fact that each picture is so clear and precise. You do great work.
Raph - now that I know where the portal is, I just might land up in giraffe land! :)
Thanks, Blu.
Shayla, ArtSparker, glad you liked them.
Marukatsu - thanks for stopping by! Glad you liked the pictures.
Jude - hope the smile stays for you! Take care.
Shalini, Indrani - thanks!
Nancy - Shadow, my shy cat who is still feral at heart thanks you for noticing him. :)
Meb - thanks. Glad you liked the pictures! Over-watering kills cacti. I have several small ones in pots at my kitchen window and am careful while watering them, but I recently killed one that I've had for a long time. Very careless of me. :(
Oh to be a cat...especially a lucky black one. These cactus blooms are so beautiful. Amazing that an unfriendly plant like a cactus can produces such delicate and exquisite flowers.
You have a wonderful week too! I love seeing cactus flowers. They are so unexpected from such a prickly plant
Amazing variety of flowers, the cactus flowers are the coolest for me.
Hi Bindu! Another hectic week and my tour of blogosphere suffers... ;)
Spring is definitely a great season and your post shows...
Blogtrotter ended the tour of temples in Old Town Vilnius. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Your garden looks like a beautiful haven
oh! your brilliant bloom shots have me drooling for a photo trip to a lovely garden!
I adore the first cactus bloom - the composition of it against the cement is perfection.
Bindu -- As of tomorrow morning (Saturday) there will be a blog award waiting for you... you have so many, but why not another! :-)
It's on Adventures in Nature.
xxoxo
Love all the pretty colours!
Hey Bindu!
Love these pictures. So lively and happy.
And your kitty is so sweet. He looks luxurious.
Amazing snaps. Beautiful flowers.
very beautiful snaps.
Beautiful flowers...lovely snaps.
Cactus flowers!!! I love them. How nice to see a lazy, fuzzy black cat in there, too. Thank you for this glimpse into your world, Bindu.
The last one is my favorite...so pretty! :)
