Mittens in the garden

Hoo boy did I wish for mittens on the photo shoot at the crane roost this morning. The temperature was in the teens and the photographers were far more colorfully turned out than the birds.

Gone spineless

This cactus caught my attention on a walk about the cactus gardens at the visitor center and I snapped a few pictures of its warm, friendly, puffy, mitten like countenance and not realizing at the time - this puppy has no spines. No wonder it seems so friendly. What's with the no spines bit? Where did they go? Do they grow back? Is this a spineless species?
