Cactus Abstract

I traveled to the public gardens today to see a special exhibit of cacti and succulents in the conservatory. There were a wide variety of these. I liked looking at the patterns of the thorns. I used a faux HDR effect to try to better bring out the thorn pattern of this cactus.

@maggiemae Thanks. The cacti at the conservatory were fabulous. This perspective is looking down at the top of one of the cactus.Since I don't know a lot about cactus, I don't know the name of this cactus. It reminded me of a barrel cactus I once saw.
