I found it amusing that in other parts of the country you would find vines and flowers growing around a picket fence, and here there was cactus.

and quite an array of them too. Very picturesque. Maybe a lot of old prickly people are laid to rest there. ;D

Awesome....I love the way it snakes around the fence like a vine. The yellow stands out very well against the white.

I've never seen anything like that before. I never knew that cacti could vine and snake their way around like that. Really interesting. Wonderful color. I also love the rustic detail of the picket fence. Great job!

I imagine the cactus is better at keeping folks out than the fence ever was! What a find . . and the color is great.

Very original and well composed. Perhaps a bit overexposed...

I love this!! The old weathered fence with a riot of colour around it (cacti or not it's colourful) is excellent.

Wonderful! Here is Kenya, people often just grow a cactus hedge and skip the fence entirely. Pretty effective.
