Joshua Tree

---

By Melisse.
Boulders piled high, precariously balanced, rounded sensuous forms, textured perfectly for traction. A playground extraordinaire, picking our way, scaling rock faces, up and down. Quito bounds from top to rock top. Testing limits while staying safe.

Joshua trees, unique to the area, cartoon-like in form, spike the crystal blue or moody sky. Creosote, Jojoba, cholla, acacia, yucca, prickly pear and more, all adapted to desert clime, with reduced leaves, green bark. Spectacular prickly beauty.

Snuggly cocooned in comfy tent, wind whipping fiercely
throughout the chilly desert night. Sleet pelting in early morning light. Equipped with camping essentials-shelter, food, water, clothes, wood, and friendship.
