We took a short road trip today out to visit a touristy little mining town about 25 miles west of town today. When we got there, we found out that the facility was closed because of a special event. It seems that they had rented their park to a “photo shoot” group and no other visitors could be admitted. Bummer.
However, they had no problem with us wandering around the nearby mostly unspoiled desert. In one area, there was a large patch of Teddy Bear Cholla cactus. I managed to get close enough to photograph some of the pale green flowers that grow on this variety of cactus. Click on the image to enlarge.
