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.
California Coast ~ Driving up the famous Highway 1, below Big Sur, the fog had finally lifted, showing the amazing turquoise blues of the sea, and the beautiful rocky shoreline. A photo stop was required!
