You do not want to get on the wrong side of this cactus! The tips are barbed so the needles hurt just as much coming out as going in. Another name for this type of cholla is Jumping cholla. No doubt because if you even walk near it, they end up stuck in you.
Very nice colors, great skies! Interesting information... I'll keep my distance! :)

It looks soft and cuddly.

Love the colours and textures of the rocks, and those plants look interesting but definately one to avoid.

Just a brief stop-by to say hi, thank you so much again for your very kind thoughts and well wishes at my blog the other day, and WOW this is really an amazing, absolutely stupendous image yet again, Gary. I am stunned too at how something that looks so cute and appealing can actually be so hurtful!

Your desert shots are truly inspiring. I really want to visit them and try to capture a little of what you seem to do with such a creative eye.

This is an awesome capture Gary - I loved your narrative on the cactus...I will definitely not be seeking them out if I am ever in your neck of the woods! :)
