Prickly Pear Cactus

[Ralph]

I found this one growing in the bush and I am not sure if it was just thrown there or if it is there from a birds dropping by eating the seeds.
Either way they should not be in our bushland but they are and can make for interesting photo's.
The 1st is a side on shot and the second is showing 2 sections of it.

Yeah mate, they have nasty thorns and to be honest the fruit often isn't worth the effort to pick if you see one.

I have got shots of the fruit on them from last year and I think those shots were better interest wise than these.
But I have never tried it though. Thanks for commenting as well.
