a new series

On May 1 I’m going to try something a little different, at least different for me. I’m going to post a month long series – ’31 Palo Verdes’.

I’ll do a new photo of a palo verde tree every day for the month of May, all taken here in the southern side of Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding desert. My thought is to post one every morning, and it will have been taken that same morning, weather permitting. Sometimes I can’t get out due to the weather so it might not happen that way. If so I will have a few in reserve to choose from – the only rule will be that it has to be taken during May. It will all be new.

These will be done in snapshot format – square, black and white, with a snapshot border and a month/year date stamp like I’ve been doing.

So. It starts this coming Friday. Stay tuned. Who knows? It might even be interesting.

Cheers

This southern California desert is rough country. It deserves rough photos to convey its fierce nature. That’s what I try to get across.

Some early morning color and a dead ironwood sculpture in Joshua Tree National Park. These are some of my favorite subjects. They say desert. I never tire of doing them.
