Vertical photo of blooming joshua tree in eroded desert scenery. The joshua tree stands out with its light green needles and chonky white blooms. It looks rather small surrounded by very pale gray and light orange stone eroded into very convoluted flutings and pinnacles.

Wildflowers rise in bright, quiet moments.
Light gathers around them, turning stillness into hope.
Each bloom stands steady in the open warmth.
The desert reminds us that beauty thrives anywhere.

"Yellow Orb Weed"
April, 2024
Also known as "Stinknet." Is native to South Africa but has spread throughout Arizona and California.
Very nice to look at but is very noxious.
