Cactus people
March 28, 2010
We visited Anza Borrego to see the desert bloom yesterday, and lo and behold! We witnessed these adorable but painful creatures populating the dusty roadsides. They are such happy-to-know-ya cactus.

Mr. Spike Tingleberry-Thornton

Mrs. Quilly Bristlebaum

Ms. Barb Tingleberry

Spike Jr.
And then there was this guy:

The Weirdo
It’s best not to mess with him. He’s a lonely stranger wandering the desolate desert plains. And also hills. But definitely lonely.
p.s. These things are called Teddybear Cholla. Have you ever heard a cuter name in all creation? Here’s the link
But watch out, cuz
The teddy-bear cholla is extremely flammable.
Thanks for warning me, wikipedia.
