Cholla forest, Joshua Tree national park~Our World Tuesday~021913





As you drive through Joshua Tree national park, there is an area called the cholla forest.  It really IS a forest, of cholla.  Don't wear sandals here!  These cacti will actually jump from the vibrations of you walking near them!  I always wear my steel-toed Walmart $40 work boots!  Hehehehe!  I also got a photo of hubby intently focusing on a cholla.  They do have a certain beauty to them, don't you think?  Just be careful if you stop here!  Our World Tuesday for February 19, 2013.   To visit OWT, please go to:   http://ourworldtuesdaymeme.blogspot.com/  Somebody asked whether the cholla look like this all year.  YES, they do.  Except now some of them have blossoms on them, but they are there all year.  Great question!  :-)

Cholla cactus and Joshua Tree NP? It is an unique place isn't it?

We stopped in the Cholla forest 2 years ago when in Joshua Tree National Park in February. One of our questions was if they looked that way all year round?
