    You have to admire its formidable defenses, as well as its beauty and symmetry, which you captured so well! What an eye-catching photo, it completely distracted me from visiting your SkyWatch photo. :-)

    Beautiful shot. I love cacti and succulents - about the only plants I can keep alive indoors.
