Desert Travels

Finally catching up with posting drawings here, so I'm making a combined post of desert travels--a Christmas trip to the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree National Park and the desert town of Twentynine Palms, and then the recent return trip for Spring Break...

These trips involve a lot of driving, which is great for me as the passenger, since it allows me to indulge in something I love to do--highway sketching!












I never get tired of visiting Joshua Tree National Park...to see familiar beauties like Hidden Valley (with or without the multitude of visitors), or discovering new places to explore.  Always fascinating, and always changing with the season and the light...


 The abandoned ruins of the
Reyes Adobe...
 Hidden Valley...

And a place without a name (that I know of!)



And then there is the town of Twentynine Palms...with old adobes, the Mojave landscape, and trips out for breakfast...

  6. It was wonderfully open-handed of people like you to deliver extensively all a number of us could have distributed for an electronic book in order to make some bucks for their own end, and in particular considering the fact that you could possibly have done it if you ever decided.
