Joshua Tree National Park California

Feb.11--Overnight in Joshua Tree Park. Larry and Lori had stayed here before and really enjoyed their stay. We followed Larry as he led us through the desert, lush with new growth. The area had received far more rain than it normally gets resulting in ideal conditions for the growth of the flora and fauna that inhabits the desert. The desert plants are expected to bloom in six weeks and the result should be nothing short of magnificent.

Morning at our campsite--Gotta love it!

Fantastic rock formations

View of surrounding mountains
These are the things on which our heart and spirit feed
