Pincushion cactus flower in Sabino Canyon outside Tucson, Arizona (#FOTD)

Sharing another photo from hubs’ and my attempt to hike in Sabino Canyon a week or so ago (see a few more pix from that aborted hike here). Note to self: do not hike at midday in Tucson in the summer. Sad that I have to leave myself notes about something that should be obvious to anyone with an IQ higher than a cactus, but here we are.

Before we slogged back to the car to avoid heatstroke, we snapped a few pix of the local flora, including this adorable pincushion cactus. It’s just a phone pic, and taken in the bright midday sun (see aforementioned note to self), so it won’t win any photography awards, but, hey, the flowers are pretty. If you want to see better-quality pix, visit Cee’s Flower of the Day Photo Challenge.

And since WordPress likes to do weird things with featured photos, here’s the uncropped version:
