I Left

Snapshots I took not long before I left my home on the California desert to go to Southeast Asia. All four are taken within the Joshua Tree National Park.
The first of the four shows a cloudy day at JTNP.
The second is of an approach to the rocks of the park.
The third is of flora of the area: a yucca and some hedgehog cacti.
The fourth gets a little closer to the rocks. 

Joshua Tree National Park

 Some see JTNP as framed by rock.

Escaped

  Some large rocks have escaped from the Monument, but have not gone far.

Trails

  There are trails in the Monument. Their are maintained trails even in theses difficult tomes.

How Many ........

  ways can one stack stone?

Fair

  Doesn't it seem fair to call this a window?

Desert Hobits!

Lots of hidy holes in the rocks big and small.Here are some of the small.

Influencial Eunuch

Influential eunuch and holy Christian martyr, mount San Gorgonio as seen from JTNP  
Nearly 11,000 feet high and no snow.

Through Rocks

Here you can look through rocks and see Joshua Trees. 

Love Rocks

  What one can most easily see in JTNP is Joshua Trees and rocks.  However the plant which looks most like a Joshua Tree here is a young yucca.

Joshua Tree Village

Neighbors

Short spined neighbors. 

Joshua Tree National Park

Long spined barrel cactus at home. 

Rocks

  The rocks are changing, but not so fast as to rush a man.

Firsr Monday of October

Walked again this first Monday of October. This will be my last walk for a time. I don't expect to have time for much walking or blogging for a while. 

Ryan's Rock

They say it stands up for the Irish, but it gets climbed anyway. 

Undocumented Alien

  An exotic making itself at home.

Recent Shots With A1200

Waking in the Park 

Rocks, Cacti, and Juniper

 At other times I take pictures of juniper, cactus, and rocks. The camera and I both seem too slow to take picture of fast moving little snakes and chipmunks.

The cactus is an exotic. How did it get up there?

Rocks

  When asked what I take picture of in this wonder land of rocks, my answer is, "Rocks." Sometimes stuff growing on the rocks get into the picture.
