Christmas at the Cactus Gardens - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the cactus gardens at the Ethel M chocolate factory. It is a popular tourist stop for tour buses and others. For Christmas they decorate it with a half million lights and then it gets even more popular. 
Most views and most interesting per Flickr Stats.   Also most comments and most favorites. This photo is a 2 second exposure taken without a tripod.  I just held the camera down hard on the top of a fence post.
