Joshua Tree National Park

Another outstanding natural attraction of this area is Joshua Tree National Park a large expanse of protected Mojave and Colorado desert. This a partial effort to capture some of its vistas. I plan on returning in the spring when it should be in bloom.

internationalsunsetjoshua tree national park

  • A cloudy sunset from my front porch
  • Two climbers from Calgary showed up and did some of the climbs in joshua tree national park.
  • Cholla or jumping cactus, if you get even close to this thing it will be stuck to you. They acutally had to put up a sign telling people not to touch it.
  • This one branch was blooming on a Ocatillo a bit early
  • Some good clouds on a windy day.
  • This cloud curved around in a magnificient arch which was hard to capture.
  • There are hundreds of these huge windmills located west of palm springs./
  • There are lots of pics like this to be had.
  • This berrie laden limb looked like a christmas tree.
  • This juniper bush was loaded with juniper berries.<br />
Gin anyone?
  • just clouds and moutains and lines
  • The joshua trees become a forest in certain locations.
  • the sun was up but clouds diffused its light.
  • this one caught my eye and thought it should be photographed.
  • This plant is tough to flower in late December. I would like to know what the pollinator is? It is one of the few plants i saw in flower.
  • This cholla garden is a unusual concentration of these tough cactus.
  • Just another joshua tree in the rocks.
  • Rain showers blew through early in the morning
  • small family of cholla
  • this plant stood out in contrast to the grey granite
