    much of California certainly has the right to sing a dirge.

    New word for me (thredony)! Had to look it up! I can see why that cactus got called ‘teddy bear’ cactus, but even with a cute name, I wouldn’t try to touch it!

    The desert may be unforgiving to many an animal or plant. However the hardy cacti needs only a little rain to thrive – but not too much to flood the sunny desert valley. It is quite a cute fella but do not hug this as you would a teddy bear…

    The sky colours are such a beautiful “umbrella” over this beautiful scene.

    I have visited some deserts but never seen a cactus like this. Great one to shape shadows. 🙂
