Yesterday we drove over to Death Valley to view the wildflowers. The plants were sparse but showed well over large areas. It was overcast and chilly. After being in a bad sand storm around 5 pm, we decided to head home. The flowering plants look more plentiful than they are.
Even more impressive was the great blooming of the Joshua trees on Hwy. 178 - east of Onyx and west of Walker Pass. The plants looked healthy and oh-so-many blooms!! It was drizzling so I had to get a picture of one that was beside the road. They were all over the place. Despite the weather (or maybe because of it) the picture turned out well.
