Escobaria alversonii - Lone Cactus

We wanted to do a last short hike of the day, and try to catch some good light as the sun was going down. I think we lucked out - it was a great finish to an excellent day at Joshua Tree National Park.
Not far from Jumbo Rocks Campground, Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA
