It's been a long time that Aleida and I came together again to make pictures. After her modeling career in SL she started to work on fashion and I remember good how we set up her first shop on Greenleaf. Now almost a year later, this creative girl comes with a skin line. Absolutely gorgeous variations and convincing in clearness. You can find her clothes and skins in her new shop in Glendalough.

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. Declared a U.S. National Park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act (Public Law 103-433), it had previously been a U.S. National Monument since 1936. It is named for the Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) native to the park. It covers a land area of 790,636 acres (1,235.37 sq mi; 3,199.59 km2) —an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres (173,890 ha), is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
The rock formations of Joshua Tree National Park were formed more than 100 million years ago from the cooling of magma beneath the surface into monzogranite, with roughly rectangular joints. Groundwater then filtered through the joints to erode away the corners and edges to create rounded stones, and flash floods washed away covering ground to create piles of boulders. These prominent outcrops are known as inselbergs.

Der Joshua-Tree-Nationalpark ist eine Wüstenlandschaft im Südosten Kaliforniens, die den Übergang zwischen der Mojave-Wüste und der Colorado-Wüste bildet. Der Park ist nach der auffälligen, im Englischen „Joshua Tree“ genannten Josua-Palmlilie (Yucca brevifolia) benannt, der größten Art der Gattung der Palmlilien (Yucca), die auch Josuabaum genannt wird.
Neben den Joshuabaum-Wäldern bietet der Park eine der interessantesten geologischen Formationen, die man in den kalifornischen Wüsten findet. Es herrschen kahle Felsen vor, die in der Regel in einzelne Felsformationen aufgebrochen sind.
Joshua-Tree wurde 1936 zum National Monument und 1994 zum Nationalpark erklärt. Er wird jährlich von über einer Million Menschen – darunter Tausende von Felskletterern aus aller Welt – besucht.

The yellow light really bugs me but I've been too long at the fair. Maybe I'll use that new "Replace" photo feature when I can find time to deal with it.
Edit: Okay, okay, I'll leave it alone.
An lovely daytrip in Rhode Island is paddling a canoe or kayak up and down the Blackstone River. A lovely easy winding trip where you will see wild birds, turtles, and explore backchannels and enjoy the serenity of nature. This river was used by the factories of New England's Industrial Revolution. For decades it was a dumping ground for chemicals by garment factories that used and abused the river. Those factories are gone now and after at least ten years one of the prettiest spots in the little state of Rhode Island. You can bring your own canoe and the river flow is such that you can put in and take out in the same spot or hire a guide or rent your own from Blackstone Outfitters. To get here take about 30 minutes from Providence and 2 hours or less from Boston, Hartford, or other nearby cities. I have to get back here in the fall too. Wow. Great for families, beginners and all nature lovers. No big rapids here. Just wear your lifejacket and maybe enjoy a swim in summer.
Looking south from Sachuest point into RI Sound. The ship is the self-unloading bulk carrier Sheila Ann; it will be going to Somerset, MA to unload coal once it leaves anchorage.
I liked the light on the Whitetail out for a morning stroll.
*Thanks to tugfanatic for details on the ship.
