It amazes me that when driving through west Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico the land looks so barren. Stop the car, get out, walk around, and look closely and you will be surprised what you see. Be ready to shoot with macro setting. While driving by did not see the little "flowers" on the cactus. Was amazed to see they looked like minature peeled pineapples upon closer inspection.

Same cactus up close and personal.
Very nice - and loved your story!
