I'd want full body armor when hiking there!
Nice shots, Jack.


Thanks for looking and commenting Elliott. Not a place to wear hiking shorts

The last two are my favorites Jack. Amazing size of the needles in #2 and beautiful flowers on #3


Thanks Jim

Yeh, I backed into a jumping cholla out in the S Arizona desert. One of the reasons for carrying around some pliers to get them out.


I always carry a comb to get the segments off and needle nose pliers to pull the spines

Curmudgeon, I believe there is nothing in the desert that will not bite, sting, or stick you.


Well over half of them will for sure

Ha! Nice shots and when I was in the Sonoran desert. I learned about the "Jumping Cholla" cactus that supposed to throw little short branches at you as you walked by. Shorts were a poor choice of leg wear, too.


Thank for looking and commenting. Botanists say they don't really jump but my experience makes me question that

Anyone ever tried the prickly pear ice cream? I like it!


Yep, not bad. I'm a fan of Prickly Pear jelly, with or without Jalapeno

It just depends what you like. Is it true that people in Washington don't sun tan, they rust

The Cholla, top shot, are particularly nasty if you into them
