Borrego Springs Ocotillo and Beavertail Cactus ~ I went to Borrego Springs in the Anza-Borrego Desert this weekend, to shoot wildflowers. This spot in Henderson Canyon had Ocotillos in bloom, several cacti, and other blooming wildflowers. I liked this view of the mountains, rocks and flowers.
Sunset Extravaganza ~ The last few minutes before the sun dropped behind distant mountains, it was bright and colorful and extravagant in it's glory. Joshua Tree National Monument, California
Juniper at Jumbo Rocks ~ I spent most of the day at Joshua Tree National Park, hiking and birding, camera in hand. My favorite area is Jumbo Rocks, and I have long been intrigued by the relationship between this Juniper and the obelisk-shaped rock, atop huge rocks at this campground. I have enjoyed photographing many aspects of the connection between the two.
