[QUOTE="STM, post: 400456, member: 12827"] "Prickly Pear" is a misnomer and a [I]great understatement[/I]. These succulents, though beautiful, are [I]the devil's spawn[/I]. Their spines are as sharp as a freakin' sewing needle but far more flexible. They embed themselves into your flesh and break off. I have yanked outs out of my shins which have buried themselves in a good half inch or more. I will dig one up and take it home to FL with me, their spring blooms are gorgeous! D700 and 16mm fisheye. I wanted a highly exaggerated perspective but knew I was going to have to crop/clone my shadow out of the image since the sun was to my back!
