Cholla and Man's Walking Stick
After Man's experience with a cholla and his shoe, P-I-C-K-Y, P-I-C-K-Y, he is not a bit more cautious, so, when we were taking a short hike he used his walking stick to poke at this particular cholla. (Well, I think it is another cholla, still working on identifications of all these new plants.)

Still I love their almost silver color in the light. Sharp as they are, they soften the view.
