Here is the image I mentioned in my last post about how my plan for moonrise didn’t work out.
Just as I realized my Plan A wasn’t working out and I was running out of time for Plan B, I abandonded my coveted position under Arch Rock, hiked out to see the glorious sunset that was happening behind me, and found a Joshua Tree in silhouette.

I really didn’t put any planning into this one, I just picked the first decent tree I saw so I could make an image before it was too late. That just proves that sometimes you have to go with the flow and take the image that is there.
I am hoping to get more chances for images like this next week when we will be camping right in the park.
I’m not sure what my internet situation will be there so I might be out of touch for a little while.
lovely colours here, Anne! I am dying to get to Joshua Tree… one day! Till then I’ll live vicariously through yours and others’ pics 🙂
Hi Amanda, I hope you do get to Joshua Tree it is a really unique park. Thanks for your compliment!

Wonderful colors! I am so glad you are in our neck-of-the-woods, so to speak. Looking forward to more of your vision.
Thank you so much Mitch, I appreciate your comments very much.
This is beyond terrific, Anne! Love those colors, and the drama that the Joshua tree brings with it’s striking silhouette is totally tangible!
Hey Toad, thank you so much. After this day trip we went into the park for 4 nights, but we didn’t get another sunset like that one. So I’m even more glad I gave up on the moon and didn’t miss the sunset. Thanks for your comments as always my friend.
Beautiful shot. I regret living in California for 15 years and never making it down there. Looking forward to more!
Hi Kris, isn’t it funny how we do that. I’ve lived in BC my whole life and I think I’ve only been to Jasper once. Banff a couple of times but not for 25 years. Yet I go out of my way to hit the national parks when I’m travelling. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my photos of Joshua Tree for now and travel there yourself sometime in your future 🙂 I have lots more coming up. Thanks for your comments!
This is truly so beautiful!
Thank you very much Lisa, I appreciate it.
Anne sometimes the gesture reaches out and says to the receptive mind, take this photograph. Well done.
Hi Allan, you are so right!! Sometimes you just have to let the landscape communicate to you 🙂 Thanks for your comments.
Fantastic image, Anne. And your right, sometimes the impromptu shots are the best.
Hi Fred, yes, you can only plan so much. Sometimes a plan just needs to be abandoned. Thanks for your comments!
Beautful!!!! Love the colors
Thank you very much Mary!
