Cactus

  Look beyond the hedgehog and see the bones of cholla

Cholla

 Two kinds of cholla at Indian Cove

Sixth Camera Walk

 I was going to include a more typical, postcard like photo, of JTNP but, this close up of what I call a pencil cholla took my eye. Big spines for a pencil thin cholla. The little fuzzy looking thing at the far right of the photo is what I think of as the fruit of the plant. A lot of cactus plant fruit is eaten, but I have never hear of anyone eating this pencil cholla fruit.
