Sue and I spent the weekend camping in Joshua Tree National Park with friends. JTree is home to massive rock formations, sometimes hundreds of feet tall, unlike any place else. It also contains two desert systems, the Colorado Desert and Mojave Desert. It is a harsh, unforgiving area that is also capable of quite amazing beauty.
Oh, a Joshua Tree (pictured) is actually a member of the tulip family.
More photos on our gardening blog, Downtown Tomatoes in the May 14 entries. Plus many photos on Flickr.
