Is This Too Phallus For You?

Posted in Photography by Bridget Casas on October 11, 2008

We had a client years ago who gave us this cactus after we sold her house in Santa Ana. She was a very nice lady, a retired teacher and a widow. She gave it to us because it embarrassed her – she thought it looked too phallus! We brought it home and put it next to our other cactus of the same species (I do not know what that is).  The other one is very tall (you can see it at  28/365) but this one didn’t want to grow tall, it decided to propagate!

I was attracted to this because of the sun shining on it and the shadows. The shadows are being created by a ficus tree, a hanging spider plant and some geraniums in a pot.  I love what shadows do to a photograph. You can see others if you look through my photographs. Big week-end for studying math and taking photographs!
