Cornucopia

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Abundance from the desert is spilling from this Cornucopia. View Large and observe a bee preparing to share this Thanksgiving bounty with his hive mates.

This is an all natural arrangement from our yard. Handling of the prickly pear pads was done with leather gloves and a pair of 16 inch hemostats. All went well until time to make a final adjustment of the small purple pad when a slight move was done with bare fingers. It turns out that those small pads have invisible stickers (we have been warned). It became time for the sticker removal process of using duct tape and tweezers.

We will soon partake the abundance of a Thanksgiving Buffet prepared by the Palo Verde Chef and his Staff.
