Happy Valentines Day

 Los Angeles -- High on a trail above Windy Gap, my beautiful wife discovers and presents to me a heart-shaped rock. Happy Valentines Day!

Passion for Cactus

Beavertail Cactus are abundant in and around Southern California. It thrives in the canyons and home gardens in the LA area, but never have I seen such a subspecies such as this.... It looked as though someone "modified" the beavertails into valentine figurines.
