Valley of Fire SP, Nevada

the red colour of new spines make this barrel cactus easy to spot, and act as a warning too...these are fierce little plants to encounter

Nicely captured. I found it interesting how much the color red dominates the color theme in Valley of Fire.

When I saw the thumbnail of this I thought it was some ribbon. What a unique and interesting find. V
