Desert finale

Before posting photos from my last 3+ weeks in the Sierras with Jennifer, I want to share a few more desert photos. 
There was never a shortage of views while hiking in southern California.
I could usually make out where the trail crossed the valley floor and went up the hill on the other side. 
The skies in the desert were often beautiful. 
The sunrises and sunsets more colorful and lasted longer than in the mountains.
There were interesting rock formations to wonder about.
I was not fond of the sounds the windmills make, but found their effect on the evening skyline interesting at times.
There was not a lot of plant life, but when it bloomed it went all out.

Walking into the trees was always a treat. 






The poodle dog brush would be pretty to look at if I did not know about the terrible blistering painful rash it causes. Much time was spent avoiding it. 
The occasional splash of color was brilliant and beautiful.  
I am glad I experienced the desert.
