This shot of succulents and cacti at the Valley of Fire, a large swath of lava cutting through the New Mexico as you can see in the Google satellite image which is the other image. This is another vintage photo that was originally low resolution. I ran the image through 3 apps to try and improve it. I think it came out pretty good. This is on a trail through the lava and cacti that starts and ends at the Campground and Picnic. I added an additional image that shows the campground and trail. The satellite images are from Google Earth. #NewMexicoFlora #Cacti #Cactus #Succulents #Trees #Bushes #ValleyOfFire #Succulents #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae (at Valley of Fires Recreation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWr9WP-LPCt/?utm_medium=tumblr

This shot of succulents and cacti alongside the Malpais Nature Trail in the Carrizozo Malpais a large lava flow visible in the Google satellite image which is the second image. The area includes Valley of Fires Recreation Area managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Lava flows extend off and on across Central New Mexico over to the El Malpais National Monument over near Grants, NM. #NewMexicoFlora #Cacti #Cactus #Succulents #Trees #Bushes #ValleyOfFiresRecreationArea #Succulent #CarrizozoMalpais #CarrizozoMalpaisLavaFlow #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae (at Valley of Fires Recreation) https://www.instagram.com/p/COGtYVDlPVr/?igshid=15vfhsvq9mf04

The most frequently seen cactus in the High Desert of New Mexico is the cholla cactuses of cacti if you prefer. They are quick to stick on anything that dares brush up against them and, unfortunately, seem to snag every plastic bag people have not discarded properly. This fact alone should make you applaud cities like Santa Fe that have banned their use. The plant can be quite beautiful in bloom. Here is a stock photo from Pixabay that shows their prickly beauty. #ChollaCactus #ChollaCactuses #ChollaCacti #NewMexicoFlora #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMiSavF8F5/?igshid=tznft1i3ewl3
