Hills adorned in lacy white (Joshua Tree National Park)

Hills adorned in lacy white

While walking the Hidden Valley Nature Trail with a view looking to the northwest across the snowy landscape present in this part of Joshua Tree National Park. What drew me into the setting was the layered look I felt present. Nearby was freshly fallen snow. Then came the Joshua Trees with some other cactus and plant-life. Off in the distance and getting snow covered quickly was the rock-strewn landscape. My thought on composing this image was to keep a more or less leveled-on view, looking straight ahead while minimizing the negative space present with the overcast and snowy skies.

 

The caption line comes from a poem I found online.

Winter's Embrace, by Patricia Cisco
