Capturing the prickly beauty of cactus 🌵

In the desert's arid embrace they dwell,
Silent guardians of a barren spell,
Their spines a shield against the sun's fierce gaze,
In hues of green and silver, a mesmerizing maze.

In solitude they flourish, defying the odds,
Survivors of harsh lands, where life seems at odds,
Yet their resilience speaks of a hidden grace,
A beauty found in desolate space.

Amidst the sands, they stand tall and proud,
Unyielding to nature's tempests, unbowed,
Their shapes unique, each one a work of art,
Unfolding tales of strength from the start.

From tiny buds to blooms of vibrant hue,
They teach us lessons, if we only knew,
That even in desolation, life can bloom,
A reminder of hope, even in the gloom.

So capture their essence, these cacti bold,
Their secrets and stories waiting to be told,
Through your lens, let their beauty unfurl,
A glimpse of nature's wonder, a treasure to swirl.

I'm fascinated by cacti, but I don't have the luxury of having plants at the moment, although that doesn't stop me from photographing them whenever I get the chance.

I took these pictures in the gardening area of the supermarket, there was a good variety of these dwarf plants and it was the perfect occasion to take several shots, I had never seen so much variety together and I didn't know that their flowers were of different colors, it was a festival for me and my cell phone camera.
