Flowering Cacti

Sometimes I get a little claustrophobic in those tiny rooms at Mitla so I let Pablo go inside the ruins with the group and amaze them with descriptions of the acoustic, architectural, and optical illusions that the Mixtec builders created.  And, for the record, describing the palaces at Mitla as ruins might be a little misleading as they are remarkably intact. 

 Meanwhile, I draw or take pics of cactuses.  These photos are from September and lots of the cacti were flowering. Enjoy.
