Queen of the New Year

This is an older photo but I think its appropriate to begin the new year with it.
My Thanksgiving Cactus flowered late the first year it matured, not opening till after Christmas!

I was outside taking night shots with my DSLR and I decided to include the tree near our house in the shot.
I used the pop up flash to light the tree and the long exposure to show the moon and stars.

Hoverfly on Pignut
