On a clear morning in California's Joshua Tree National Park the rocks are a great contrast of complimentary colors. Adding the moon to the scene further punctuates the variations.

They are both found in abundance in California's Joshua Tree National Park. When rocks and cactus are combined, you can get some interesting compositions. In this photo there's a prickly pear cactus and a "boxcar" rock.

While visiting California's Joshua Tree National Park, I would start the day at dawn and end it at dusk. Both at the start and end I could hear the sound of coyotes yipping and howling, adding their tunes to the atmosphere. This photo reminded me of those times ... as I see a coyote in the standing rock, with its head thrown back singing the songs of the wild.
