Prickly Pear, Canyon Wall
Prickly Pear (opuntia opuntia)
is most famous for two things: you
either get wounded by it's spines or you
try to sample the red fruit and get
wounded by it's spines. Either way, you
usually loose. Common in the west prickly
pear sometimes, due to the nutrients in
the soil, takes on the color of the local
soil. If you're a desert lover like me
you'll appreciate how this cacti almost
tries to hide against it's backdrop in
this image.
