Cholla Sunrise
This spectacular sunrise lasted only a couple of minutes so by the time I got my camera and positioned myself, I only got two shots. Thankfully, one was in focus. In my rush to get into position below the cholla skeleton, I bumped into a particularly nasty Prickly Pear Cactus. Was it worth getting glocids in the side of my head? I got the shot so;..Yes 🙂
Captured in my backyard this morning.

That WAS a short sunrise! I watched it develop, and just as quickly fade into grays and blues.
Was it one of those so-called bunny-ear cacti, deceptively soft-looking until you touch it? Remember: duct tape!
Not the bunny-ear…although they’ve fooled me at least once 🙂
This Oputia grew from a pad given to me years ago and I’ve never ID’d it. The rims of the pads are LOADED with glocids. I’ll send a photo.
Ouch! Did you pick them all out?
Because they’re on my scalp, it’s impossible to get them all out with my hair in the way but I was able to get most of them. The rest irritate you for a few weeks 🙁
I’m glad you captured that marvelous sunrise – I saw it from my patio but didn’t get my camera in time.
I wish we had those around here, love it.
