I do like cacti. They would just not stand a chance in our moist climate.
The last pic - silhouette with lamp posts is great.
Happy SW Friday!

thanks for sharing.
Love the silhouette one!
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Cactii so huge amazes me. They are so old and have seen and felt so much with the passing of time.
That's the second time in two days I've seen this type of cactus! Someone posted a photo for ABC Wednesday.
Anyway, I popped over to say that I've posted the photo of the starry quilt I mentioned.
I especially like the shot of the cactus amidst the lamp posts
