A Prickley View

The three of us went for our morning walk and I spied this cactus,  (I believe it is a barrel cactus)  And took several shots of it.  I liked this shot the best.    I did try the Mono Monday  but wasn't really liking it.  I may post it as an extra.      I didn't realize if I didn't use my extra photo's I would lose them .  I thought they would just roll over to the next year.  Apparently not.   I am sure I won't use them all at this late date!       Lovely day today.  We did get rain early this morning so the walk was nice and moist!     This will be my last week in Arizona, then back to Seattle.
