Texas Picture: January

Last year I did a photo challenge where every month I posted a few nature pictures taken during that month. This year I decided to post a picture of something that says “Texas” every month.

For this month I’ve posted a picture of some type of cactus growing underneath our back fence. After a bit of research, it looks a little like a purple prickly pear cactus. I might be able to better determine what type it is after it flowers. While we don’t see cactus all over the place in our part of Texas, we do see it commonly in landscaping. Who knows, perhaps some cactus will make its into our landscaping someday soon!
