Cactus and almond blossom
Description
A close view with broad, flat cactus pads filling the lower left and bottom of the picture, and more pads at the left edge. Behind them a dense shrub covered in small white blossoms spreads across the centre and right, while feathery branches of a tree hang in the upper right against a pale, plain sky.
