... or Soccerball to my American friends. No, of course it's not. It's a cactus in the hot-house at Chester Zoo. Some appropriate music, Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre.

That would surely hurt if I tried to kick that thing. Very nice close up.

Prefer to play soccer with another ball Steve. Think the keeper has the same idea as well, lol.
Very good image. Clarity is great too.

Will be a better idea to use it as basketball - no gloves of course. Nice image of the cactus!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Looks like a strangely colored porcupine... actually I like cactuses (cacti?), they don't need to be watered very often so they're difficult for me to kill...;-))

My Nan used to have a lot of cactai in her house and for some reason I always used to touch a certain one that was like fiber glass and got into your skin. Never learned! SHe had one like this that my uncle would dare me to put my hands around it, but nope wasnt that stupid lolol. Very nice shot and great title.
