Nice area. The lichen looks pretty, the cactus looks like the 'prickly pear' we have here in Australia, which grows quite large and is an agricultural pest.
ReplyDeletewow!!love the beautiful shoots!!A scent of spring for me:)))
ReplyDeleteRiver beat me to it. That cactus does indeed look like the prickly pear. Brave souls eat its fruit, but it is a vicious beast.
ReplyDeleteOkay, if I look at your lovely snaps just before I dose off tonight, can you promise I'll dream of here? Oh just say yes.
ReplyDeletea pretty lake, i like the splash of yellow, we don't have any color right now!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a large prickly pear growing in our front garden when we moved here in 1974. Hubby thought it special and wanted to keep but I could just imagine our grandchildren perhaps coming into contact with those thorns so it had to go.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pictures here.
My pups from time to time lick sores into worse wounds, and I figure many of them come from cactus pricks. They are even meaner than you'd expect. I can appreciate your gardening decision *wink*
