La Palma, Canary Islands

Line up

Here are a few prickly little fellows lining up around the edge of the cactus, apparently for a better view.

Usually, the cacti only produce a few fruits such as these, or tunos as they call them here in the Canary Islands. In another month or so they will start to ripen, turning through shades of orange, pink and red. Then you can eat them.

Hopefully, I will remember to take another photo of them as time goes on. I am just wondering though, if the tunos near the bottom are conferring to see if they should march up to the top, push the others over and claim the view for their own.
