Nice pricks! ;)
I like these and other "relatives" cacti.
In my experience, prickly pears are hard to photograph: because of
the geometry and usually large dynamic range of light and colors.
I had been thinking ab out planting some succulents on my patio, but
somehow I didn't think about these... I have a place in the patio that
doesn't get watered by the sprinklers... So, the only plants that survive
in there are those that grow by themselves.
BTW, as for keeping deer out, - I've found this product working
reasonably well to keep deer out of my roses:
https://www.amazon.com/Deer-Out-40oz-Ready-Repellent/dp/B002DQCEIA/
At least, it works better than Liquid Fence - Deer&Rabbit that is sold
at the local Walmart.
Cheers,
Igor

Every year at Fathers' Day, my prickly pear cactus burst into bloom, with
lovely yellow flowers. Fortunately, this year is no exception.
The prickly pears are a nuisance most of the year, with thorns that are
almost impossible impossible to dislodge once they get under one's skin.
They have two great features: The prolific blooms in June and the fact
that they are one of the few flowering plants that deer will not eat or
trample.
