What a contrast between the scene being photographed and the shadowy spot from which it's taken!
Cactus is beautiful to look at but not to touch, autch!
Happy Sunday!

Beautiful -- thank you for sharing and for hosting.
And, the world needs as many prayers as possible! Love that shot at SJC!
Love these gorgeous dark cactus shadows! Beautiful haiku as well!
What a beautiful shadow shot for the day and the perfect words as always! Our world does indeed need all the prayers it can get these days! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks as always for continuing the shadowy weekend fun!

The cactus leaves look as if they are outstretched hands, each leaf a 'finger' lifted to beckon us. Stunningly beautiful in sunny and shadowy detail!
What a way to start the Weekend- Great shot!! and a Trinity of Wrens! Just perfect!

Love the view through the dark cactus to the sunshine beyond.
It is a beautiful Mission.
Love this shot.
MMT .. I see many more little birds in this amazing aged cactus .. perhaps it is their haven from the world .. a place to feel safe, guarded by those thorns?
Great shot for today !
Joy : )
Love the cactus shadow and the trinity of wrens. Such as serene shot.
The contrast of bright light against the shadow is striking.
As the others said, we can't have enough prayers in this crazy world in which we live.
* such a serene shot, I meant. ;-)
I love the sweet sound of the cactus wren.
Yikes... looks like a giant crab §;-)
Beautiful shot...

I like the way it appears we are sneaking around behind the prickly hedge of cactus shadows to get a peak at the open yard and it's straggly shadows!
Looks like a cactus invasion!
The cactus plant gives a beautiful, natural frame round the depth of the scene! Beautiful!

Beautiful shot!
The cactus appear to e reaching out to grab you as you stroll through the court.
Great shot - just don't get too close!
That's a mighty big cactus in the shadows. A quite lovely scene with the sun shining brightly and a clear blue sky. Shadows of the tree on the green lawn as well. Nice!
Happy Sunday!
