Oh So Pretty ... Hug Me ... But Don't!

Out looking at property today - I noticed large patches of these type cactus - they look soft, and fluffy, or even "snow capped" - very appealing!

The reason they are called "Teddy Bear" cactus - and some of them even looks like teddy bear arms reaching out as if to say Hug Me"!

But these type cactus are also known as the "jumping cactus" because if you get too close, it really feels like hundreds of the tiny sharp, barb like spines will latch onto your fingers, hands or any other body part and they are quite painful and can take hours and hours to tweeze the thorns out!

So admire and enjoy dessert life from a distance!
