Joshua Tree in bloom

Ocotillo






Various flowers along the lower elevation in the park


Joshua Trees in bloom. They smelled really sweet, like fruity nectar. The tree and the bloom was teaming with bugs, it creeped me out.




You can see the snow capped mountain off in the distance.


It was so pretty.




Calico Cactus






Cholla Cactus Gardens also known as teddy bear cactus. They are not soft, the spines will jump out at you and embed barbs under your skin. Or so the brochure states.


Cactus buds


Desert Senna


Catching some warm rays of sunshine.


The sunset at Keys View.








Check out all the orbs in this! The next picture was taken just a second later but without a flash.

Wonderful - beautiful pictures! I loved the "teddy bear" cactus flowers and the sunset was so peaceful. You and Matt look happy and more in love now than the day you were married!! What joy!
Love, mom
