Joshua Tree NP Desert Wildflower Photoshoot
by Lee on Apr.04, 2009, under Photos, Workshops
The spring wildflower bloom at Joshua Tree NP was bleak this year after record rains and snow. It’s a mystery but, to quote Mother Nature, “Stuff happens!” On Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22, several intrepid photographers ventured into JTNP in search of spring wildflowers. It was a hard fought battle but, in the end, Mother Nature won and left us with few trophies for our showcase. Here are some photos from that epic battle.
Next year, I plan to do Anza-Borrego in late March and Joshua Tree in Early April. Let’s see if we can fool Mother Nature.
