Cactus is very cool and interesting.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Nice picture beachgirl. Sometimes they even remind you of someone if you look close enough.

Blossom shot
One day we drove out to the abandoned oxny mine at El Marmol. This blossom atop a cactus was about a foot wide and over two feet in height, which
you wouldn't know from looking just at the photo. It was so amazing I had to jump out of the car and take this shot. By the way the mine is amazing
with huge slabs of onyx in gorgeous colors just "lying" around. No sign that we saw of any of the housing...apparently when the mine was really
active there were over 1000 people working/living around there. Woke up the next morning with a flat. Good thing we were at a hotel on the way north
literally directly across the street from a lantera, so the repair was a breeze, instead of sweating it out with a blowout on the Baja road with no
place to stop and semis around the bend

Cool shot of big cactus far away!
Taken this past March on the day of the San Felipe 250, there are quite a few of these cactus in our desert.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

My very favorite cactus
Once it was pulled out of my foot. 
Not good desert shoes.

...I remember my first hard lesson with cactus... wearing sandals I left the firelight to p*** and promptly put my toe into a cactus...it hurt, so I
reached down to pull out the spines, and now had cactus in my fingers...this hurt so I brought my finger up to my mouth to pull them out with my
teeth...
maybe ten seconds had passed...
...and I had spines in my toes, my fingers, and my lips...
what could I do but laugh and sheepishly return to the firelight... and tweezers

Too bad no one had a camera.
As John got the pliers, he just kept growling about why the he)) was I wearing my Birks and it could have just as well been a snake.
This is what kept me from watching where I was walking when the cactus found me. 
Beachgirl, isn't it fun once you can post pictures?
