Claret-Cup Cactus

This image was taken in Zion National Park along the Pa'Rus trail. It was getting later in the day and light was dimming and I did not have my tripod with me. This was shot on the ground bracing knees, elbows and everything else to get the camera study enough to shoot the image. Then I shot many frames to get one reasonably sharp. Thanks for your comments. They are appreciated.
