Cactus Exploding In Blooms: Photo Of The Day
Patch loves photos! Share your photos with Patch and your work could be featured.

OAKLAND, CA — If a cactus conjures in your mind visions of a stark desert landscape, we took the same summer vacation as kids - sweating in the back seat of a family sedan with a bleak landscape rolling by on our way to something better.
Christina Roberson has proof that cactus can be incredibly beautiful. She snapped this photo in Oakland of a cactus in full, vibrant bloom. The flowers are every bit as showy as hibiscus. Thank you for sharing this revelation with us, Christina!
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.
