More Rocks, Joshua Trees, and other Pictures

Thought I would share more pictures from our day at Joshua Tree National Park.   Hope you enjoy.

Joshua Tree NP - a Botanical Viewpoint

Living in the Sonoran Desert south of Tucson, AZ, for the past 7 years has provided quite an education to someone who has lived most of her life in the eastern US.  First, I now understand (TOTALLY) that globes portraying brown on the western part of the US and green on the Eastern, are based on reality.  Or, at least, so it would seem to many of us transplants. But, over time you find that vegetation, mostly of the "native plants" variety, can provide beautiful gardens and landscapes wherever you are.  The trick, if there is one, is to "go with the flow" and not try to fool Mother Nature!
