An old wooden pier in Ventura, California. From what I could gather, this pier was built in 1872 and renovated in 1993.

Verse of the day:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10

Jumping Cholla

Teddy Bear Cholla is often called “Jumping Cactus.” No they do not actually jump, but often they will make you think they do. They have segments which easily detach from the plant and if you brush up against one, they will attach its self to you. Once you get one of these segments stuck in you, the only way to remove it is with pliers or a couple of sticks, or something along that line.
