Joshua Tree


A few years ago Southern California actually got a nice amount of rain in the winter, which meant the desert plants had grown nicely, and were expected to put on a goodly show in the Spring, so I made plans to travel out to Joshua Tree with friends, one of whom lives in the desert, and take pictures.

 

 

Miscellaneous Photos

Samples of photos I took that day, including flowers blooming cheerily, cacti being spiky, and dead trees/shrubs looking desertly.

 

Indentify That Plant

Once I got home it was time to identify the various plants I had photographed.

 

More Identities

While I was fairly successful identifying the plants in the photos, there were a couple of mysteries.

 

Framed

I taught a Photoshop Workshop a technique for making frames around photos, and couldn't resist framing a few of the desert photos too.
