  1. The Prickly Pear Cactus started blooming yesterday. Cooler and a lot nicer out today. Got off my duff and cleaned up around the plant. Didn't get it done last year... Pulled out, cut off weeds and grass trying to take over its spot. Fished out a bunch of old leaves and dead material with barbecue tongs.

    Only had to remove maybe a dozen little needles from my fingers. I bring the tweezers out along with the gardening tools. They're ALWAYS needed😆

  2. Opuntia basilarus, or Beaver tail cactus- both beautiful and rare to see with multiple blooms. I saw this one at my usual turnaround point above Pleasant Valley reservoir, while walking Yoshi this evening. #opuntiabasilaris #beavertailcactus #pricklypearcactus #mustangmesa #springflowers #californiaflowers

  3. I'll have to see if my airhose will reach out to the Cactus. It seems a bit deflated this spring😉

  4. One of my favourite #CameraTrap photos from #PricklyPearProjectKenya - an especially photogenic #Impala with a group of #VulturineGuineafowl and #PricklyPearCactus in the background. I like this photo so much that I picked it as the project's profile picture when we launched on #Zooniverse!
