I took this one mostly because of the prickly pear tree by the front porch. In my part of the world, prickly pear gets killed back, so it grows low to the ground. I've seen some as bushes in more gentle climates, but this is the only time I've seen it as a tree. It has buds on it. The yellow barrel is a water storage. It keeps the water pressure even in the house, despite temperamental water supplies.
