Kiva – Cactus Panic

COUNTRY:
Kiva

DETAILS:
Hiking across the Grand Canyon, one wonders what the all the prickly pear cactus would do in a downpour………the antithesis of a dry arid climate they love.  The red nodules are what gives birth to the flower…….. so this group of cacti will soon be blooming. Some of the cacti have holes in their pads which creates a window of sorts seen here in the closest one.

MAILED:
by me from Phantom Ranch in 2011
