This photo was made near my home in Sun City, Texas while out early one morning looking for something to photograph. I came across these “spineless prickly pears,” laden with their bright pink fruit. They were dripping with small icicles caused by the dew the night before. It reminded me of my grandmother’s story of how they decorated their Christmas Tree, when she was a child, with prickly pear fruit and gourds as ornaments on the tree, which were usually cedars. Therefore, I call this photograph my “Texas Christmas Tree.”
