Photo #3

The shot was taken along the 2 mile rocky dirt road to our campsite. It was a little later in the morning and the light was a little harsh but I was really drawn to the vibrant color of the purple prickly pear cactus in the foreground. Apparently they usually have a bluish tint but in the winter they turn pinkish purple. Click on the link below to see them with a more bluish tint and in bloom. Stunning!
