With all of our recent rains, the desert is in full bloom, so I drove over to Joshua Tree to check out all of the wildflowers. I was really kind of surprised at the variety that I saw. It seems like whenever I see wildflowers on TV, it’s just fields of yellow flowers (I think poppies). There were plenty of yellow flowers, but there was also red, white, purple and blue flowers. I did the hike to the 49 Palms Oasis. It was a nice walk with plenty of steep and uneven rocks to teeter over. The oasis itself was shady and peaceful, but not very beautiful or interesting.

Here are a few of my photos of Joshua Tree Wildflowers.
