Artist's Description
Spring in the desert sure bring out many different types of cactus blooming.
Most prickly pear cactus have yellow, red or purple flowers, even among the same species.
Prickly pear cactus represent about a dozen species of the Opuntia genus (Family Cactaceae) in the North American deserts. All have flat, fleshy pads that look like large leaves.

About Robert Bales
I am a retired teacher, coach, and athletic director. While my wife, Judy, and I were teaching she had a photo studio, and I had a dark room where I did black and white and color.
