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.

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.

Barrel Cactus fruits 😊

- Saguaros, Prickly pears and Chollas in the back 😉

Looking at desert plants has been a nice boost to my motivation during this cold week 😉
Looks like the weather will improve slightly towards the weekend 🤔

Male Western Tanagers have been compared to “a flame” due to their bright orange, yellow & black coloration. I recently got to see 1 in our neighbors’ pine tree in Tucson, AZ & illustrated it for my Perpetual Journal.

Our Prickly Pear Cacti fruits have been getting ripe & turning red the past few weeks. I found one in our Tucson, AZ, USA yard with a conjoined fruit (COOL! 😍)—so I illustrated it for my latest Perpetual Journal entry.

I took a picture of Opuntia, commonly called prickly pear or pear cactus, on the island of Elba. This flowering plant belongs to the genus Opuntia in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Ancient Greek city of Opus, where an edible plant grew and could be propagated by rooting its leaves.
