There are several of these yellow prickly pear cactus flowers in bloom along the road near our house. This one was about three inches across which is a little larger than most we see. The Sonora and her flowers is very beautiful from March through November. Click on the image to enlarge.
Homely as the prickly pear is, next to barrels & such, they do have spectacular flowers.

Ding-dong, bin Laden’s dead!

We got his head!
Ding-dong, Osam’ bin Laden’s dead!
But, then again, to paraphrase John Vernon in “The Outlaw Josey Wales”, I don’t want to HEAR Osama dead; I want to SEE Osama dead. Looks like we won’t have that chance, as they buried him at sea. So, did they really get him? Or is this some Obama sleight-of-hand?
