A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.
Ok..gotta comment on this one! I have what looks like the same type cactus. Mine does not have spines and is edible, which is why I bought it. I tried fermenting with other veggies and it was slimy so, Ill have to think of another way to eat it. I think it's probably Mexican cuisine. Anyway, I just weeded around it yesterday and to see it here surprised me, LOL! Pretty sure it's the same variety.
Thanks Carol! I will do that because I remember that when we go to Dunedin we eat at a Mexican restaurant that serves a wonderful cactus salad, it's quite spicy. I order it every time I go. Maybe I'll find a recipe for that! Yum!
I have found I am having so much fun with the camera that there are many more photos taken than will fit on my blog, Reflections From the Fence.
I post flora and fauna photos here. One subject a day, a flora and fauna 365 project. I managed to get past the first 365 and started the second year of this daily exercise. I made it till sometime in November of 2011. And, now, Flora and Fauna is just a regular ole blog, posting when I have something to share and the time to post it.
Some posts are wordy, some are wordless. My goal is to make them as wordless as possible. However, if I find something interesting during the posting/research process, I may share, ok, I will probably share. I hope you find the words and photos to be interesting.
Remember, by clicking on the photo, it will open in a new window, usually a larger view of the image, more detail, etc. Please use your back button to return here to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
Thanks for stopping by.
A favorite photo from Bellingrath Gardens, near Mobile Alabama
Things I love: Family, Grandchildren, Rving, computers (sometimes, but not when they are being bad), family history, yorkies, techy toys like my iToys, photography.
I am all of these, so I write about them all, and more.

Love it. Did you make it?
Actually took this in San Antonio! It was about 4 feet, give or take, across and there was a matching one nearby. FAB!!

Lisa, google search "nopal". Yes, it should be edible, there are TONS of ways to fix it, some say even raw.
