Great desert scene in the second shot!
That’s a beautiful sky!
Beautiful shots.
Really beautiful shots, as always, always a pleasure to visit your site! Thanks for visiting mine and for your comments, always appreciated!
Oh, how pretty!
The patterns in your desert sky are beautiful. Well done; great perspectives.
Beautiful desert landscape….interesting sky in both shots…very pretty
Wow I like both photos, your countryside is amazing and I love the sky colours.
Happy SWF.
The patterns the clouds make in the sky are mesmerizing, and so fleeting. We will never see those same cloud formations again unless we photograph them. I like how you captured them.
I lived for a year or more in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. I even worked for a season at Joshua Tree. The Ocotillo are just fabulous in bloom. The desert is filled with fabulous gems.
Beautiful skies and desert scene.
I like the vertical lines of the clouds in the first photo. I have never heard of ocotillo. It has an unusual bloom.
Very nice pictures
beautiful setting

Love that broad view of the desert and sky. Cacti are great, but desert scenery gets me every time.
What a beautiful vista you have there in your 2nd shot Gaelyn.
Nice shor, the second is a beutiful landscape.
Beautiful sky with prickley things in front. LOL.
Happy trails to Carson—I just found out.
I lost you but here you are. MB
Gaelyn,
I am SO jealous! I would love to do what you are doing! I hav 3 more years until my youngest graduates and then I may do the same thing- just hit the road!
I love your pics- I am a new follower and I look forward to hearing about your travels, work and yard sale finds!
Caprice
The octillo really adds to the beauty of that sky. Happy Friday!
Love the silhouettes and the great wide vista below Gaelyn
The prickly branches seem to be lying on a bed of cotton wool.
Before I buy my ticket,who will protect me from the creepy crawlies?
Looks as though the Ocotilla are reaching for the sky. Nice perspective! Have a great weekend.
Great panoramic shot!
Your photos always make me homesick. Both photos on today’s post are awesome. I love the bright orange/red of the ocotillo bloom!
Human beings often assume beauty is limited to certain perception of color, texture, and other sensations that evoke discernable senses. In fact, beauty expands into forms and formlessness that human beings have yet to fathom or experience. To encourage humans to open their minds enables them to begin torecognize beauty in places they had not thought about before. You inspire open-mindedness and offer means to expand.
