The Numbers Game #75
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 196. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Mottled Spurge Cactus
I just think there’s something unreal about this. It looks like an arts installation or a Christmas decoration, rather than a plant. Not that I mentioned this at the time. It looks like it might respond badly.
Colorful cacti
I saw these cheerful cacti burgeoning in downtown Hawi recently.

Prickly pear cactus
I still find it strange to see cacti in Hawaii. Stranger still is seeing them in flower like this prickly pear cactus on the Kohala coast.
Prickly heart
I saw this prickly pear cactus alongside Old Saddle Road and thought it a good illustration that affairs of the heart are not always smooth. I also thought this would make a good album cover for a country band whose biggest hit was a song titled ‘Prickly Heart.’ There must be one out there surely!
