I first heard "Joshua tree" in 1987 when local band U2 released their classic album. Twenty years later, I visit the Joshua Tree National Park.
The sun breaking in between the trees, at the parking lot for the El Dorado Nature Center.
Sometimes seeing these things just look 10x better in person, but sometimes re-capturing that special moment takes time and patience..
Enjoy.
Coyotes howled as I waited for the sun to set.

Blink and you'll miss it.
Warm and charming B&B in Rockport, MA. John and Tobey Shepherd are the innkeepers.
Lewis Creek, is a small trail, that is outside of Fish Camp, near Yosemite National Park, California. It's filled w/wildlife, water filled creek (when its Late Winter or Early Spring), tall pine trees, and possible-- Red Woods; and its a nice trail to take a stroll around to appreciate nature.
In some conditions, its really necessary to wear snowblind sun glasses to prevent getting snow blind, boots, since the snow can reach upto 6' deep.
It's off of Highway 41 North towards Yosemite, and have to go past Sierra Sky Ranch, which is about 2-5 miles from there, and you have to look closely for small signs that reads Lewis Creek ;)
The Tate community is build around a small lake atop a mountain. It is a beautiful and quiet place hidden away in North Georgia, apart from any large cities.
