It's #RockinTuesday! And because it is October, here's an interesting rock formation from #JoshuaTreeNP, in Southern California. What does it look like to you? #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Travel #NationalParks
For #BlueSkyMonday, here's something a little different. The blue sky with sunshine coming through a #ChollaCactus. Taken in the Cholla Cactus Garden in #JoshuaTreeNP. Certainly a 'prickly subject'. #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky Support our #NationalParks.

Photograph of an open sketchbook with watercolor illustrations of a gold granite rock shored like an egg with a spikey Joshua tree in front of it, a desert tortoise and a roadrunner. National park stamps decorate the lower right corner of the page
Last December I found myself in J Tree with a broken arm- the best way to keep from using it was to sit down and paint! Also, I was so excited to spot this roadrunner that I nearly crashed my car into a rock right outside the visitor center 😅

Joshua Trees (yucca plant) are native to SW U.S. and grow mainly in the Mojave Desert or within a few miles of its boundaries - nowhere else in the world! They live avg 150yrs. There’s 850,000 in the National Park. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #JoshuaTreeNP #saveourparks

Hot, quiet, adaptation. Earth can change to wind and heat. Learns to use it. Maybe we should listen to Earth. Wind forms rocks and plants. Ironic no rattlers out this day because of the heat. Only humans. #JoshuaTree #CA #Skullrock #adapt #Joshuatreenp #natureteaches #nature

Please, people! When you're out in the wilds (especially in a National Park), either pack out your used toilet tissue or BURY IT. It makes crappy nesting material (no pun intended) and the rest of us don't like to see it.

In December 2013 I took a break and gave myself a three week trip to Joshua Tree—the town and the National Park. On one of my hikes, I came upon this stately Live Oak tree in the middle of a Californian Mojave/Coloradan desert. This location was more Coloradan than Mojave, but still, a Live Oak? Flourishing. Tans, tans and tans. With snippets of greens. Near the center of this image, in a boulder field, is a rather live Live Oak. I was not prepared for that. I'm still a little bit astonished at this tree's presence in Joshua Tree National Park. I'm glad it was there though, as it provided for a much needed nap in the shade, for on that one day, the winter cold abated and everything became pretty damned hot.
