Here is a photo of a cactus that grabs your attention against the brilliant blue sky.This cactus is a silver cholla (opuntia echinocarpa). It has long spines that will stick in you if you get to close.
It can grow five feet tall and blooms in April through June.

Excellent perspective here, Julie.
Those spines look nasty! But your photo is fantastic!
Boy, toothpicks is right. Ooooouuuuuucccccchhhh!
I love the way these seem to glow in the sunshine. Nice capture.
That looks really nice against the sky.
That looks really nice against the sky.
These look like they would be good toothpicks but I bet not. Very nice with the blue sky for background.
It really grabs your attention!
Alluring to touch.
Yikes. But what a nice shot! Is this the cactus where the spine actually expands when it goes in?
There's one steer clear of.
I wondered what you meant by "toothpicks" but wow you were right! I wouldn't want to get near it.
Wonderful POV of the photo, I love contrasting sky and cactus.
Not good for bikers... lol
That looks like it could be painful if you aren't careful!
What James said.
Fantastic picture! Next time I need a toothpick...
Ah-ha! Now I understand where my toothpicks come from. Arizona must be the world's biggest exporter of toothpicks, methinks. (; Great picture!
