Cholla Transport Type:Dibond The last rays of sunlight

The last rays of sunlight seemingly advanced up the mountainsides of the Vancouver Island Ranges on this warm late-summer evening

I loved those movies

Cholla Transport Type:Dibond The last rays of sunlightCholla (cho ya) is a cactus that is well known for its barbed spines that unrelentingly attach to skin, fur and clothing. One variety, the jumping cholla, has spiny segments that easily detach and seem to "jump" onto passersby, aiding in its effort to later fall off and propagate in a new location. If you look closely, the cow in this image has a piece of cholla on her upper ribs. She must have brushed up on some while grazing through the desert. Like
