We took Pucker Pass from Moab to get to Dead Horse Point a couple of weeks ago. There were thousands of Prickly Pear cacti in bloom along the road. Had to stop and take a few shots. The color combo may clash a bit but it was undenieably attention getting! I cleaned up the surrounding area of some scattered unsightly debris.

This is ridiculously awesome, Pam! Might be one of the coolest photos I've seen of prickly pear flowers. Love the "s" curve of the cactus and line of flowers.

No wonder you stopped to photograph this one. This is an excellent array of both flowers and 'paddles'!
Got some fine, even light there, too. I like this!

VERY nice... I also like the nice winding pattern of the cactus.
