Prickly Pear Cactus


I'm sure these have a "real name" but growing up we always called them Prickly Pear Cactus. My sister makes a wonderful sugar free jelly from the fruit. My hat's off to her, I have never liked these because your hands end up covered with tiny stickers that are almost too small to remove.
I used a photo manipulation effect to alter this photograph.

Sandy - what can I say - great minds think alike.

Mary - this was from when I was home in the fall.
