Cactus Flower In Castro Valley: Photo Of The Day

CASTRO VALLEY, CA — Sarah Simon is using her extra time at home to garden. She tells Patch, "I have doing more gardening and documenting interesting plants and flowers from my garden. These cactus flowers only last for one day/24 hours once they are opened. They have sweet scent and stunningly beautiful."

The photos were taken last weekend.

Thank you for sharing, Sarah!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
