I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

While at Saguaro National Park east, located in Tucson, Arizona, I saw this mean looking Teddy Bear Cholla Cactus. The way the light shown on its thousands of barbed needles amazed me.
They are also referred to as Jumping Cactus because individual pods sometimes break off in winds and rain. While walking through the desert an unwary person might accidentally kick one and they often bounce up and pierce and cling to foot or ankle producing a lot of pain.
As kids, we learned to get two stout sticks, one in each hand, put them together between limb and cactus to pull them out OUCH!!! If at near home, Cooking tongs used to turn fried chicken also work well. These cacti always look at you and say GO AWAY! Some areas are so thick with them it's almost impassible to hike through. It is also interesting that an individual section can take root and grow into another separate cactus plant so they often proliferate that way!
Meanest cactus in the Sonoran desert!
I have been in awe of the deserts, mountains, and canyons of the great southwest for over 50 years. Atmospheric events like sunrise and sunsets, approaching storms and monsoon rains, fog and mist, snow, or moonlit nights, just add to the beauty of Arizona and Utah landscapes. This is what inspires a passion within me to capture the mood, drama, and majesty of being there....from being at the foot of a majestic crag or on top of a summit overlooking a distant valley below. I paint real places that one can visit and see. Whether it be Finger Rock of the Catalina Mountains,The Sentinel in Zion National Park, or Mather Point at the Grand Canyon, it is my goal and desire to have my paintings draw a viewer to them and that they become...

The lighting in this is just gorgeous. What a beautiful Cholla. They may have an attitude, but they are still beautiful! L/F Featured in American Desert Southwest.
Lucinda Walter
Congratulations! Your beautiful work is featured in the Beauty of Arizona group l/f
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thank you very much, Lucinda. I always appreciate the feature as well as your fav and like, too !
Janet Marie
Congratulations, Jerry for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE in John's Art Group, "Images That Excite You!" This such a stunning shot of a favorite place of ours, Saguaro National Park. There is such a wonderful collection of these beautiful Teddy Bear Cholla Cactus. Named for its furry "cuddly" appearance but is actually a densely spined plant. Both it and chain-fruit cholla are called jumping cholla cactus. The Teddy Bear produces yellow-greenish flowers and Chain-fruit produces small bright pink flowers. What gets dropped on the ground can easily attach to one's shoe (a danger if wearing open shoes, and I would know, not fun). I love the shimmering needles in the Autumn sunlight. Well done! LF FB
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thank you dearest Janet. Going to the beautiful places in our own “back yard” of Southern Arizona with you is ones of life’s greatest pleasures as we seek wonderful photo ops, sunsets, monsoon storms & clouds, and cacti/ Spring wildflowers! Sharing with you these times and places are the best!
Chance Kafka
Very nice, textural shot and amusing description, Jerry - featured in Tucson and Southern Arizona!

Thanks for the feature, Chance. I appreciate your visit and comments too!

Thank you very much, John. It is an honor!
Elaine Mikkelstrup
Oh wow, that looks deceptively soft. I am guessing it is not. Great capture of this unusual plant l/f
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Elaine. Somehow I missed seeing this wonderful comment by you. A belated thank you for stopping by my gallery. They are deceptively soft looking, hence their name. But are just the opposite. I am glad you like this and I appreciate you choosing this as one of your favorites too.

Beautiful capture, great depth of field. Great light and shadow. Fv

Barbara, Thank you very much! I appreciate your comments!

Jerry, What a great capture of this "mean" Teddy Bear Cholla Cactus. Fantastic light and detail...nicely done. v/f
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thank you so much, Deb. Always a treat hearing from YOU!
Linda Howes
I like your mean cactus! If I didn't know any better, I would almost think it looks soft. Glad I don't have to worry about them here! Would hate to stumble upon one! Very cool cactus and capture! l/f
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thanks, Linda. As a kid I had a cousin visit from Nebraska. He though his leather boots would protect him and proceeded to stomp on some until they penetrated through and pierced his foot. I told him, Don't mess with these and he learned the hard way!
