The Bad Lands

A close-up view of a dying pad of a prickly pear on the Latigo Trail in McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on November 16, 2023. Originals: _Z721553.NEF to _Z721589.NEF

This dying prickly pear pad reminded me of an overhead view of a desert full not of saguaros but carnivorous ocotillos. The real Sonoran Desert wouldn’t be much fun to cross without adequate supplies, but it could be worse.
