Jumping Cholla

[guppiecat]

Oh the wintertime is coming

And the cacti sharply blooming

And the wild jumping cholla

Grows around the fairy duster

Will ye go, madam go?

And we’ll all go together

To not pluck jumping cholla

All around the palo verde

Will ye go, madam go?

I will build my love a tower

Near dry and barren fountain

And on it I will pile

All the garnets of the mountain

Will ye go, madam go?

And we’ll all go together

To not pluck jumping cholla

All around the palo verde

Will ye go, madam go?

If my true love she were gone

I would surely find another

To not pluck jumping cholla

All around the palo verde

Will ye go, madam go?

And we’ll all go together

To not pluck jumping cholla

All around the palo verde

Will ye go, madam go?

Let us go, madam, go?

This is an infinite improvement over the original and if I were a musician I would put it into my repertoire.

So what am I looking at? Infrared, I assume. And cacti on a hill? Or really something else?

[guppiecat]

It's just an mountain in Phoenix viewed in infrared.

Nothing special about it other than that I liked the look.

I, too, like the look.
