Album Description:

Once we had a garden by the house full of cacti and other succulents, now living in a flat the cacti live outside my window all over the year. Only the smaller cacti get more attention, especially in the hot and dry summer.

  • Hi Galit, wow great album, absolutely loved it, especially the Wilcoxia's, they sure make a great pic. You don't really think of cacti as being pretty just as something spiky, but these shots have changed that perspective. Thanks for sharing, also thankyou for your kind words in my album. Gayle.

  • Hello Galit, Thankyou so much for your kind words about my Staff photo pick, I was so surprised. I always think that the flower of the cacti are very underated, they can be so very beautiful and delicate, a nice album. Do take care and kind regards from England

  • Orly is right, each macro is a little piece of art, Galit!! Love the colors, lighting, angles, details and compositions of these Prickly Beauties! I don't usually think of Cati and Succulents in such a beautiful way, but you certainly show their Softer Sides through all of your Excellent Imagery, Very Well Done!!! I see you've been a Busy Bee capturing album after album! Sorry I'm late in visiting my friend, but I will try and catch up to your New and Gorgeous Creations!!! Take Care to You and the Family...Give Yoav a "Big High Five" from me, okay! GB, Ted

The clever cat has found a very comfy spot to enjoy all your flowers..LOL I'm off now to check your Adina & April Roses albums...Mouse in Canada

  • Hello Galit. Since I joined Webshots a week or two ago I have seen some wonderful photos and these of your cacti are just beautiful. Such gorgeous colours and I just love the way you can get photos from different angles. This is something I can learn from. It was so kind of you to look at my first album and to write such lovely words. I expect Peter put you up to looking at the photos - he's a so and so because he didn't tell me he was sending them to some of his friends and I had such a shock when I found all these messages waiting for me. It is taking a long time to answer everyone as I am such a terrible typist, but once I have finished I can then spend some time looking at all the marvellous albums from lovely people like yourself. Thanks once again. Hugs, Betty

  • <font color=#3366FF>Hello Galit. You turn out albums far quicker than sadly I have the time to come visit and view them. This one is yet one more of your master pieces. You have excelled dear friend as always with your fine photography. I feel dreadful that it has taken me this long to say thank you for your generous comments in my Easter feature g/b. I was very happy to hear from you. Your support means a lot to me. The same day as my feature I left on holiday and more recently I have had mega problems with my computer and been without ir for quite some time. Just wanted you to know that I appreciated you stopping by. Must plod on with my thank yous. It was my most successful feature which means I'm still very busy replying to everyone. Take care. </font> <font color=#C71585> Much love to you and Olav

  • Hi Galit! How are you? WOW, what a splendid album! Your macros are little pieces of art. I esp loved the Mamilarias. Many different perfect compositions. A real joy to view. The cat in the box is lovely! Thanks for your visit in my album. Yes, it took me a lot of time to post the Italy albums!! But it's not a bad thing, because I wasn't making any new albums this year! Partly for lack of time and partly because it tends to take me more time than before. I've been to several Hug Elad hikes but I usually don't take enough photos to make an album. I am more relaxed without fearing of losing the group while taking shots, as have happened in the past :-) but also in general, I am more selective in taking and posting shots. Best, Orly

  • You have done it again Galit! You have captured some beautiful images here once again. I just love the first and second page, the pinks have photographed well. Reds and pinks can be tricky with digital but these are just great! Your grandson is growing up so fast! I keep thinking about your camera at work and how you could get some very unique pictures with it too :-) ... regards from Poppy in the land down under (Adelaide, Australia)

  • Hello Grannie, Jeepers, your album of cactus is quite beautiful, you have a sense about the beauty of a flower, but you've really caught the cactus here. Like #59, soft and delicate and too beautiful to be a cactus!! Yesterday was very busy sending out thank you notes, a must, still defending the territory here trying to finish up. I also wanted to thank you for visiting my Featured album and leaving such nice comments within my guest book entries. A surprise to me in the morning hours while opening my email, finding a long list of folks from all over the place. Best regards and thanks again for visiting. Greetings from the Oregon Coast. Ron

  • Dear Galit, As Peter has said you have done it again a beautiful album of your cacti. What I am really amazed by though is you cat sharing the box with them does he or she never get the spines where they don't want them lol. Take care now. Love and hugs, Jill

    said  of jillbatchelor2 jillbatchelor2 2006.05.07 at 09:02:49 PDT

  • Oh my word, you've done it again! An absolute ripper of an album that is sheer delight from go to whoa. You must have a good book on cacti to be able to name them all as you have - or is that all part of your magic powers? I am on Betty's laptop right now as my computer is still in hospital having no less than 8000+ infected files removed. I am told the operation was a success and that it is now in intensive care. Should be allowed home by Tuesday or Wednesday. By the way Betty put her first album on Webshots yesterday under the name of tillergirl. Love and hugs to my genie, Peter

  • Hi Galit! Cacti are such amazing plants and their flowers hold so much beauty! You have a great collection and have captured them to perfection in these great photos. Love them all, and had to smile at the cat who loves them too! Well done! Thankyou for your lovely message in my g/b, always appreciated.. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

  • Hello Galit, thanks for your words on my feature dalbum, yes it was only for a few hours, Webshots say they made a mistake with the date and it was suppose to be featured later on, I don't know. I love this album of yours, great pictures. Take care, Gualberto.

  • Dear Galit, I'm speechless - this album is so beautiful. I'm impressed with your knowledge about names of flowers. Your lighting here is amazing. How did you do it? Great album. Warm regards, Roza

  • Hi Galit, congratulations on your new album. It's very beautiful as always. I'm very impressed by the large variety of cacti and all are blooming with beautiful colors. However, I could not recognize the one in picture #74 as CAcTi... I'm waiting patiently for your next albums. I'm sure they are going to be also very beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Yair.
