Joshua Tree National Park (continued)

I've added more photos to select from as I continue to work on the Southern California landscape photography guide book.  I've moved the new ones to the front of the album.  This cover photo shows the Cholla Cactus Garden at sunset.  You sometimes a piece of cholla which has "jumped" onto your pant leg, shoe, dog or horse… hence the nickname "jumping cholla".  This is one of the ways they propagate.  That piece can spout in the new location where it has dropped, spreading the cactus to new locations.
