NAME THAT SHAPE

It's time to play "Name That Shape".

Many cool rock formation are found in the Mojave Desert.

Boot Rock, DVCA, Joshua Tree Ca.

Put on the hiking shoes and grab a water bottle and take a hike
in DVCA.
See how many shapes can you find in the rocks? I enjoy the simple game of

looking for the shapes. Don't forget the clouds.
 

Shoe Rock

The best location is simply put, time walking on the hiking trail. 

 

Who can name the Shape?

"Shoe"

 

 

Slow down and stop to look around. JT (Joshua Tree CA. 92252 has so much investigate. Plan a action packed weekend with relaxing included. Sunrise and sunset with camera in hand, always ready to point and shoot.  

 

Joshua Tree National Park offers many walking trails.


 

Rock Shape No Name:)

The exercise from climbing on the rocks is awesome. Just play

the balance stepping stone game.

 

Sour Face Boulder Climbing in DVCA

Joshua Tree National Park, Dinosaur Rocks

 The Clouds

Look at the proof!  

UFO INVADES “ JT”

 How many shapes can you find? Just one, the  UFO over the trees.

Any day with a "Cannon" is a great day!

Then add  BIG CLOUDS. Start at sunrise, enjoy the golden hour at sunset with a night cap full of stars,

Help The Tree Is Following! 

Walk thru the trees and name the shapes. Hard right turn with a flower pot head.

Picture shot in my backyard. I have always like the clouds, but this picture I was hooked, again.. The wide open space of Joshua Tree, some days offer a great show.

The numerous rock piles of Joshua Tree National Park are

impressive to photograph.

The North boundary area offers great single track trails hiking.

Photographing the rock piles is a great way to exercise.

Big fluffy storm clouds are best background.

The storm clouds over the Mojave desert produce

awesome photos!

 

Joshua Tree National Park

The rock piles of JTNP  mixed with sunrise

clouds. I have come to enjoy those early morning hikes

before sunrise with the trusted LED Headlamp. Plan a

day hike in JTNP and photograph a  Mojave Desert print.

 

 

Monsoon season on the Mojave Desert

 

Keep the Canon camera by your side at all times.

 

 

Mid day walk in section "6", good hiking shoes are

advisable. Water is a must have!  I recommend using

a camelback, always carry water. 

 

Due to the vastness of desert I love the dividing

lines. Look closely and see the line of rain.
