Death Valley
March 22nd, 2008 ~ Travel blogging
Just got back from some time in Death Valley. My mom and I were hoping to catch some of the wildflowers. We missed the peak season but still saw many thousands of little purple and yellow blooms littered across the oceans of bubbling ochre sand. Here are some of the more choice images. I was thinking about adding description, but really, it seems like a place that everyone just has to go and see for themselves, and make up their own mind about what they’re there for.

(By the way, that’s not graffiti, just mineral stratification doing its thing. This canyon is named Artist’s Palette.)

Oh yeah, now you’re in my neck of the woods. The desert has a severe beauty. Its no wonder the saints go there to battle Satan.

Severe beauty — that’s it exactly. It’s a good thing to go back and see from time to time. But I don’t kid myself: it’s very forbidding country.
