Spring Green Preserve, Wisconsin. Known informally as the Wisconsin Desert. The open land with well drained sandy soil allows for prickly pear cacti to grow here in abundance, well out of their normal range. Having grown up in Texas I've seen lots of cacti but never expected to see them in WI.
A cactus in Wisconsin!
A stunted Red Oak "bush" and more prickly pear. There are lots of these little oak shrubs of several species growing here. I liked them.
