This is part nature and part landscape I guess

The "Prickly Pear" is a gross understatement. These things are the devil's spawn. Their spines are a sharp as a sewing needle but far more flexible. I have yanked ones out of my shins which had buried themselves a half inch or more. But I will dig one up and bring it home with me to FL, the blooms in the spring are amazing!

I shot this one with the 16mm fisheye because I wanted greatly exaggerated perspective. But the sun was to my back so I to crop/clone out my shadow!
