Camp light in Page, AZ. A prickly pear in full magenta with a bud rising beside it, the last sun lighting the spines. The bloom feels earned after a long dry year.

inspired by:
• the luminous red nova of the monoceros (unicorn) constellation (v838 monocerotis) [1]
• cactus blossoms, especially saguaro [2] and prickly pear [3, 4]
• snakes as mythological bringers of life and light (hail satan :black_sparkling_heart:)

Spring is in full bloom in the Sonoran desert 💛

1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what happened this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ art of Tucson nature observations 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week. In ‘23 we got snow. In ‘26 the temp’s been over 90°!

I love watching Prickly Pear tunas (fruits) change color from green>pink>maroon so I used data visualization in my art to track the color change. On Day 19 I saw a Harris’s Antelope Ground Squirrel eating it & on Day 20 the tuna had fallen off the cactus, onto the ground.

Another kombucha processing day! My officemate's family did some prickly pear harvesting and preserving, and as a side product, I got some juice to try. So thanks for the idea, @jasaz! In a few days the second ferment will be ready for me to taste. Prickly pear juice has a very particular flavor (and is a wild magenta color!) so we'll see how it combines with my Irish black tea kombucha.

We’re starting to see more Queen Butterfly eggs & larvae on our Milkweeds (1st time since May; here they are in my Perpetual Journal). I love watching butterflies’ life cycle from egg>caterpillar>chrysalis>butterfly!😍

Work day, so not much time, but harvested some of my prickly pear fruit to make prickly pear syrup. Brought to a boil and turned off the heat, will go check it later after it has steeped a bit. (In the clean, food pot LOL). #cactus #pricklypear #gardening #tuna #nopal

Todo: making prickly pear syrup.
This looks legit, ie not AI spew...
"Regardless of how you use your tunas, you need to separate the seeds from the pulp. Garrett and several others say the seeds are edible, but they are either high or have far stronger teeth than I do; it’s like eating a wood chip."

Prickly Pear (Opuntia) Fruit Beginning to Ripen in the Garden This Week
As summer winds down, the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) is starting to ripen its fruit. I have 5 large cacti in the front and back garden, and they have reached maturity, so our harvest of fruit has been growing each year. Today, I spotted over 40 fruits at various stages of ripening. I am guessing they will all be ready for harvest once I return from a 2-week trip to Australia in September.
