Purple Prickly Pear Cactus — Image by kenne
It’s not easy being purple
you don’t blend in with
so many other ordinary things
And people tend to stare at you
‘Cause you stand out
Like a sore thumb
next to yellow blossoms.

Edi Moore guided us to a couple of Macdougal’s Nipple Cactus in Molino Basin last Monday while hiking the area. These two are only about 4″ high and somewhat concealed by other plants and desert debris. This sighting was my first.
The blossoms had not yet opened on one plant, but should soon follow the other with beautiful greenish-yellow blossoms.
Although not that common, they are native to the desert’s higher elevations and are a protected plant. — Images by kenne

The Yellow-Tree Road
Resembling
diminutive fires;
blooming
on green sticks (Palo Verde);
setting
the desert a glow;
converging
roads in a sea of yellow;
alluring
sweet winds;
moving
desert naturalness;
knowing
the road less traveled.
