Those pics I promised.

This is a cirus cactus. They can grow quite tall. This cactus is still loaded with fruit from last year. The fruits are small but look big here where I have focused in on them. They have tiny almost invisible fuzzy thorns on them. Too small to pick and hold over a fire to burn the fuzz off. The birds seem to ignore them but the chipmunks usually pick them clean. There were so many plants in this area they still had the fruit despite the critters eating.


Another pic of the creeping murtle that Phillip took.




Holly oak in bloom down by the river. Phillip took this looking upstream toward where we park.






This is a pic of the holly oak in bloom.


Looks like the are going to force the new interface on us wether we want it or not. I guess I better get used to it.


Granny.
