Thanks for looking!

Ooo, I like the feeling of texture in the first, and the shapes and curves and lines ... and the colours in both. I'd like to TOUCH the dead branch/tree trunk but NOT the cactus !!!

I agree with LaFoto about the awesome curves and lines of the wood. Is it burned or just old and dried out?

I like the second,It looks like if I touch the screen I will get pricked

Thanks LaFoto, surfingfireman and Chris. The log was smooth as glass and fallen, not burnt although it seemed to have the same texture/look as charcoal. Very hard, like it was petrifying. I was thinking about sitting on it and eating some breakfast, but I thought it was too cool to take a chance on breaking something.

The cactus is an Old Man Prickly Pear cactus (Opuntia erinacea)

They are cool in that they produce a purple fruit, that after the little spines are scrapped/burned off and peeled, are real sweet and tasty. Nothing to mess with though, have someone else try it before you.
