Description
Joshua Tree National Park, CA........I've been to Joshua Tree a couple of times before, and I just love it....This time, I found an area that I hadn't explored or seen before, which was really exciting! It was actually off the main road, and we had to turn into a campground, and then find a certain campsite number to find the little nature trail. And, wow...the scenery was just amazing....so otherworldly. You really feel like you are stepping onto another planet. There were these huge boulders and rocks for miles! And believe it or not, there were actually tons of people camping back in there! I don't know...I don't think it's my kind of campground, myself, lol!!! Well, more power to them!! :)))........This was also the first time that there have been clouds when I've been there, so I was thrilled about that!! It was a beautiful day to explore a little and shoot...just about 76 degrees F. Perfect!!! :)))

Skip Willits
A stunningly bold landscape that makes one wonder just how do things live there...and I know they do (of some kind). What a spot.
Laurie Search replied:
Yes, I agree, Skip!! It is such a severe place that it does seem crazy that creatures and plant life survive, but yes, they sure do!!! Thank you very, very much!! I really appreciate it!! :)))
