Cactus Monday (#25)

Lisa mentioned seeing prickly pears growing through fences (in Texas) and them being better than barbed wire. I had to think of these pictures I took last year in Bonaire. I don't see myself climbing over this fence, how about you my dear fellow cactuteers? Happy Cactus Monday! Lisa vertelde over prickly pears die door het hek heen groeide in Texas. En dat dat beter was dan prikkeldraad. Ik moest denken aan deze foto´s die ik vorig jaar in Bonaire heb genomen. Ooit een beter hek gezien cactus vrienden? Hier zie ik mezelf nog niet zo gauw over heen klimmen.......... Happy Cactus Maandag!

    OMG, that is one serious fence. I wonder how long it took to get that fence established. I wonder if they have to guide those cactus to the desired form?? It is a work of art as well as a formidable obstacle.

    Happy Cactus Monday dear friend.
    This is incredible, I never know that cactus can be fences and indeed a clever and unique one.
    Sorry, I was busy commenting just now, then tired and my mind went blank.....then I slept.
    Half way thry, I woke up and my instinct told me that I haven't drop by to your blog yet.
    I am glad my instinct woke me up:)

    Catching up here Marianne. This is a rather intimidating fence to be sure! A great photo for the cactus day!

    I enjoyed looking over all the latest mandala's and other paintings too below.
