Had a chance to escape from cloudy and cold Michigan to visit Southern CA. Took a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park, and shot some pics with the Nikon D50 DSLR and Tamron 24-135 lens. Here are a few of my favorites. If you ever get a chance to visit this place, don't miss it. The unusual scenery is splendid, even when the desert isn't in bloom.

Cholla Cactus Garden located in Joshua Tree Nat'l Park. I wasn't paying attention, and ended up with five tines in my knee. You have to pull hard to get them out. Nasty but beautiful.

Cool, Mark (especially this weekend--It got down to 23 d at our nearby observing place).

I love JTNP.
