Credits: @noelcasajephotography ・・・ "WHEN LOOKS DECEIVE" At first glance, these chollas look so cuddly, you almost feel like you can hug them, hence the nickname "teddy bear cholla". But, you're in for a world of hurt once you fall prey to a few nasty barbs. Captured a couple of hours before sunrise (note the stars peeking between the clouds). This would have been an eerie place to shoot at night if not for the ambient light from the nearby city of Phoenix, but I still kept my eyes peeled for rattlesnakes and tarantulas, just in case :).
