Oh man, this photo and your captions made me giggle way too much! Before, I even read your Dracula/Alucard references, the first thing I thought when I saw this photo was ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!! There's a very nice smeared blood "Night of the Living Dead" effect I'm determined to find that 60's vampire movie now.
@MaryandTrouble Prickly pear from Opuntia ficus-indica. I get an abundance of these every two to three years. It's great because the tortoises get plenty...and there's more than enough left for us!
