Great picture, trees are so hard to portrait descriptively, and this is also beautiful.

Thanks! I was playing with a new app on my iPhone. This is the second time I've seen a Prickly Pear growing like this in a live oak. There is a big one in Honey Creek State Natural Area too.

Great picture...I've never seen Prickly Pear growing as an epiphyte. What a magnificent Live Oak. Love your quote and E.O. Wilson.
