Close Up Challenge

This months Sketchbook Challenge was zooming in for a Close Up. I sat very close to my five foot high cactus that I planted in the back yard six years ago. It didn't take me long to actually see the symmetry in nature.  This was one of my favorite challenges.

At the End of the Garden

...stands a hardy cactus. Five years ago it was our Christmas tree and at that time it almost measured a foot high and had maybe four arms hanging on it. I planted it outside and now it's well over five feet high with brother's and sister's and way too many arms to count. It definitely has become one of my favorite plants.
