closely studying a cactus


I suspect that this next week or ten days will be rather stationary: time to appreciate the natural details right outside my back door.  Maybe the whole week should be spent on one cactus (a large prickly pear cactus, but I can't promise to eat the fruit: the last time I approached it I found it was protecting itself with very thin, hard, sharp spines that stuck straight into my fingers and remained there, invisible.) . Given that much of my current reading engages with (very British-inflected) close descriptions and analysis of very small patches of nature, I give you - Los Feliz Backyard Exhibit A.
