Watch out for flesh-scratching cacti on a desert trail!
As Darlene and I hiked towards Courthouse Butte near Sedona, AZ, we came across these beds of cacti.
They had no redeeming beautiful velvety flower!
Trust me these spikes are not kind to bare skin!

I found some similar looking ones here in Toowoomba on the dividing range in Australia, but not so many spikes. Carol called them prickly pears. 🙂
