When we started talking about this trip one goal (almost the only concrete one) was to see the desert bloom. So we headed to the Mojave National Preserve which is between Las Vegas and LA. Our good friend Sandra recommended it because she knows how much we like places without many people. So we got here April 7th and really had no information and no detailed map and just spent a night at the side of the road and went for an amazing walk that turned out to be the main area of Joshua trees in the preserve.

The yuccas and Joshua Trees were blooming there were cactus and prickles everywhere- spiders and holes and burrows, flowers and prickly trees and sand and rocks and big, big sky- we had gone to a foreign world. One of my favourite quotes for the day was from Leland, "The earth is amazing from a different perspective..." Yes my son it is.
And did I mention the prickles?
