Oh, I love the second one!! Talk about a quirky shadow!! The first one is so soft and lovely! What a great pair of shots for the day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Carolyn!

The desert seems like rock and scrub in our minds. Yet in these photos, the dry terrain allows for stunning scenery like the mount of stone and the bent tree are unique under the dry but very blue sky!

What a beautiful place for shadow shots!

Interesting contrast between the two shadows! The first shadows seem to whisper while the shadows in the second shot seem dramatic, demanding attention!

Your pics are great but deserts are not for me - I don't like snakes...
Have a great SSS!

Joshua trees have wonderful "personalities" - this one with it's shadow in particular.

I absolutely love all the Joshua Tree National Park posts! The rocky sceneries are just out of this world and the photos are fantastic!
