Prickly Pear blooming

We've been battling bears ineffectively for a week. I'm short several chickens. I took some time yesterday to get to Margaret's and capture a few of these prickly pear blooms while they were still fresh. I would love to have a huge bed of these. I wish the light had been better, but there were things to do to help the cause at home that had nothing to do with frittering away more hours taking pictures.
