I thought this amazing cactus, called prickly pear, was ideal for a wallpaper. I hope you like it ... yes, there is no bird in the shot!

It's not how many megapixels. But how you use the ones you have.

Must be spring in AZ land..pink prickly pear...looks like a private reserve.

Reminds me of my mother's cactus "garden" when we lived in Window Rock AZ...and we had a NE-style hedge, clipping of which was on my roster of chores. Never failed..I'd always step back to admire my handiwork and end up picking out the spines from these little devils.

Nice to look at, but a danger to come in contact with...

Hmmm......life's lesson here?

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Works well close in giving a random pattern of colorful ovals with their regular square arranged spikes for contrast. A good take.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
