One of the highlights from collecting today was to spot this Desert Tortoise at one of the population sites for Penstemon albomarginatus.
Here's the Mohave Desert habitat where Penstemon albomarginatus and the Desert Tortoise occur.
Penstemon albomarginatus from Clark County, Nevada.

Another close-up. I shot these last three pics using my twin light macro flash.
Don't you just LOVE the desert in the springtime?
