Like the giant Saguaro, the Joshua Tree stands tall and proud, but in very few places,across the Southwest. This is in the Southern extremes of the Mohave desert, in Joshua Tree National Park, Southeast California.

Excellent shot. The Joshua Tree like the Saguaro is one of the many wonders of the desert. Great colors & composition. I love it.

Very nice photo capturing the oddity of the plant and the starkness of the desert surroundings. Did you explore any of the old mining areas while you were in the park? We found them quite interesting.

It looks as though it is king of the desert. Very nicely captured.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

It is beautiful....and almost has a lush and green look for a desert! I've actually been to The Mohave...and LOVED it!
