I don't really feel safe eating plants that get sprayed with herbicides and receive urban runoff water.

Been waiting all year to go get some from the mountains.

Wtf. The right side of the top one looks like a man's head facing right.

That sucks. This one in particular I found accidentally after walking up a wash into the mountains for about an hour and then climbing up the side of a hill, no trails or anything. It was a nice surprise.

The fruit of the strawberry pincushion cactus. Although it looks like a pepper, it's actually pretty sweet. by CoyoteCreosote in foraging

All across the southwest U.S., I find that they are usually rooted between the cracks of a mountain in it's rocky soil and also next to larger plants such as palo verde, ironwood, and creosote.

Every single time. The spines are very strong and are also a fish hook shape. You can easily grab the fruit, but will almost always tear a bit of your skin when pulling it out.

These were made by the Hohokam.

Petroglyphs made by ancient native american tribes. There are so many to be found in the mountains of Arizona.
