a walk in Twentynine Palms--Part I

A few weeks back we visited my mother-in-law, Helen, over Mother's Day. During my morning walk, here are some of the things I saw...


(legs ready to go)


(a branch that looked like a snake)


(desert dandelions)


(an anthill)


(the end of the road)

cholla garden--Joshua Tree National Park





(May, 2010)


This is a surreal place... thousands of cholla cactus that grow on a plain in Joshua Tree National Park, like Alice in Wonderland falling into a desert rabbit hole.
