Your welcome. Oh right, it's winter for them too, well at least you got to see some stuff.
I had a marvelous time. I was just sad that the lizards and snakes weren't active at that time of year. Thanks again, D.
Great spotting and congrats on FOTD. Looks like you had a good trip in California.
Thank you for letting me know and sharing the info about these awesome trees, Lisa! :)

Project Noah Fact of the Day: This monocotyledonous tree is native to southwestern North America in the states of California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, where it is confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400 and 1,800 m (1,300 and 5,900 ft) elevation. It thrives in the open grasslands of Queen Valley and Lost Horse Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. A dense Joshua tree forest also exists in Mojave National Preserve, in the area of Cima Dome. ~Wikipedia
