A black and white landscape photo of a desert landscape on the side of a rugged rocky hill. The rugged hillside is covered in woody creosote bush and tall saguaro cactus. Many of the cacti are just single trunks, but a cluster of them in the upper left have multiple arms. The sky is a dark gray due to processing.

A color landscape photo of a cliff in the Grand Canyon. A finger of rock protrudes out from the left to center frame. It cliff it forms shows many horizontal layers in the rock. On the flat top of the finger of rock are two small round trees. They are brightly lit in sunlight. In the background shadow is a much larger cliff face but there is a switchback trail coming in from the left and descending down into the canyon.

A Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree) near the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness south of Las Vegas. Here's a funny story: When German immigrants settled in the Mojave desert near the San Andreas fault at the base of the Sierra Pelona Mountains they called their settlement "Palmdale." They had heard that there were palm trees in SoCal. Having never seen a palm tree they mistook the Joshua trees for palm trees hence the town's name.

A color portrait photo of a odd looking tree in a desert landscape. The tree is around 12-14 feet tall. From a short central trunk there's many thick twisted branches shooting off in many directions. At the end of each branch is a green tuff of long sharp spike like leaves. The sky is blue and clear.
