Contrast
These Opuntia cactus reminded me of cartoon faces. But later, after looking at the photo so more, I noticed the contrast between the cactus and the sky and the lack of contrast between the cactus and the plants in the background. Outlined against the sky, the cactus take on a life of their own. At the same time, against the background of the other plants they are almost indistinguishable. As I get older, I notice that I have become indistinguishable against the background of people my age. If there were a place where I could be seen against a contrasting environment, I might be noticed but I am just another overweight old person.

This cactus looks cute, but at the same time it looks happy with many children.
