A four day backpacking trip, through REI. Incredible experience!
The afternoon sun bleaches the land, so it’s probably not surprising that some of the best photos are sunrise and sunset. Plus, during the day, the guides were driving us mercilessly, so who had time to take photos?












Morning sunlight through a dried Joshua tree branch:

















How is it that I haven’t been to Rattlesnake Hill before? Anyway, it’s just been preserved for nature, and to celebrate I made my first trip.
When you look under a rock around here, you often find little strands of silk. I don’t know if they are fungal or insect/spider in origin. They often have droplets on them, perhaps water but possibly not. Always a great view.
