Night Chiquita, the Dancing Cactus

Chiquita, the Dancing Cactus · **1 Like**

at least that is what it looks like that to me, what do you think?
Just a fun photo to put a smile on your face.

Bob, sometime a vivid imagination helps when you begin to see things in tree bark, clouds, reflection on walls and so on. I guess i see someone flailing around, maybe some very HOT salsa or a new dance step. Hey, the green really pops. Thanks for posting.........Cliff

LOL! A funny capture, Bob. Thank you for sharing!

Holy Cow, I have enough trouble with the ones that remain stationary, I sure don't want to meet up with one that dances around!

Good catch and eye, Bob.

Cliff, you just have to squint a bit and turn your head to the left and smile and the image takes place much easier. The flash really brought the color out in this one.

I don't know what it is about the picture Bob but I have a sudden craving for a margarita and some guacamole.

thank you Lori, here in the desert where temps can reach 120 f., I think nature sometimes does funny things to keep people smiling at the end of the day.

Dave, that is exactly what my wife saw immediately, the famous "banana lady' and the song, but we couldn't remember her name. It sure is nice to have google as a memory backup.

what a cool subject! err, I mean what a hot subject

I bet you could do a whole series on interesting cacti... just don't try to eat the seed pods or flowers, I hear they make you hallucinate!

Or maybe just have some of that merlot that's normally reserved for the sunsets!
