Prickly Pear Cactus.

These cacti adorned every hill and wild space around my family’s home. To me they are the symbol of Southern California. They are home to nesting birds and rodents, hiding from the hawks. No hike lacked an abundance of prickly pears and it was always a treat when their yellow and peach flowers came into bloom.
