Some cholla from the last night camping in New Mexico near Abiquiú last week. A plant best admired from a distance!

Very nice one and I concur with you, keep some distance from these guys. I tried to be friendly but it always ended badly for me  ;D

+1. I had a cholla pierce through the sole of my walking shoes long ago. I still remember the pain.

Thanks all! I escaped unpunctured. I was glad to have my camper for this area instead of the tent!
