This weekend I took some time to visit Joshua Tree.  I'd never been there before.  We didn't have much time to look around; I'd like to go back sometime when I can hike the area.  But we had enough time to get some good pictures, which I wanted to leave here and share with everyone.  The trees themselves are definitely the star here; they give the landscape such an alien appearance.  We live in this beautiful amazing world full of so many different things.
