Thanks for your comments....
Prickly Pear Cactus have been a staple food of Native Americans for many centuries.
After you have removed the glochids you can eat the fruit fresh, or prepare it in several ways. Prickly pear juice can be used to make jelly, conserve, marmalade or poured on salads. It can also be mixed with other juices to make smoothies, shakes and other refreshing beverages. Mixing the juice with 7-Up or ginger ale will give you a tasty drink similar to a Shirley Temple.
Prickly pear fruit can also be used in pies, dried for a snack food or used as a filler/topping for desserts.
your friend, Peter

Good closeup, Peter! It does look pretty prickly, and those water droplets add a great touch.

I love these cacti! Looks like you ventured out into the rain to shoot this one! When I visited the Texas Hill Country they were everywhere, lots of colorful fruit! This is a great shot of these lovely plants. Thanks for sharing yours.
