Driving through Wonder Valley... what are those giant letters on the distant horizon? As we got closer, realized we'd reached THE END OF THE WORLD. This 2022 installation by Jack Pierson left us wondering whether it was a statement, like "This community is so obscure, it may as well be at the end of the world," or political, as in... say no more.

This was taken on my cell phone in the Pro setting (adjusted shutter speed to kill the background noise).
The ubiquitous Cholla Cactus in Joshua Tree - they're everywhere! They're also known as "jumping cactus" because the spikes have a seemingly magical ability to reach out and grab your skin or clothing - my shins still have a few scars from ones I missed. I love the way their spikes catch early morning and late afternoon rays.
Joshua Tree is a very beautiful park with unusual landscaped, close to home, I should go there more often.

During the gold rush, some Joshua Tree miners built a cabin into the side of a giant boulder by pushing other rocks into place, applying mortar, and creating a roof of sticks and sheet metal. The cabin is "preserved" but wild - you can hike to it (start on the Split Rock Trail and uphill). Some of their old pots and pans, yokes, and other gear are left hanging around for hikers to appreciate.
My first photo using the Mavic Pro drone. I am really happy with it, the raw photos are really good, and it is very easy to fly. Shot in Joshua Tree National Park.

The Cholla Cactus Garden, in Joshua Tree National Park, is an amazing garden of teddy bear cholla cactus. This amazing plant lives in the Sonoran Desert and gives off a fuzzy teddy bear like appearance, but the spines easily sticks to anything that comes close. For sunrise we decided to photograph the beautiful and mysterious cholla cactus garden in middle of Joshua Tree which probably wasn't the smartest idea. Navigating through the sharp jumping cholla cactus and trying to compose a shot is a difficult endeavor especially if you're half awake. I don't recommend it! But I was happy to capture the sun star as it back lite the cholla cactus.
