Oops, there it is

While these small cacti do not cover the entire terrain near my mother’s cabin, they pop up in random and sometimes inconvenient places. I almost stepped directly on top of this one and that would not have been a fun DIY surgery. I do not know how Chuck avoided them as he hunted on our hike, but I’d like to thank whatever deity in charge for helping us avoid that vet bill.
