Stunning Donna! I love black and white artwork, and your artwork says why!! I look forward to seeing the blooms this summer in my desert garden of joy, during the Monsoon rains. My spring time cactus flowers have been a joy. This is wonderful heavy contrast black and white photography. Thank you for sharing! LF Janet 💕
