Cacti from Vitko Collection at International Peace Garden, Dunseith, ND. cjt, great idea going for a fill-the-frame shot. It brings out all the details on the cacti. |

Products for natural, guilt free pampering. Brenda Brenda, what a finding! It struck a chord with me; that’s my kind of pampering. Great job capturing the details of this Natural! |

Another take on natural - ran across this piece of rock with many fossils in it today - very old and very natural ... Tony, very interesting interpretation of Natural. I keep going back to look at the many fossils. Great job! |

The heat wave kept me indoors for much of last week, so I didn't get around to this subject, which should have been right up my alley. So here I am a day late again. This is a Prickly Pear cactus in full bloom.... beautiful showy blossoms. In the setting where I found it, there is a lot of wild oats, making it impossible to get a truly clean photo. But this is just how it is, and it's a completely Natural presentation.   |

Just for good measure, this yucca in bloom was in the same area along the railroad right-of-way as the cactus above. While this area isn't considered desert, we still have lots of native plants with a prickly disposition.  |

I love your interpretation -- no cleaning, a natural setting. Great example of Natural. |

It emphasizes its details. |
