The Desert, Part II

(Part I here).  Alternatively, this post could be called, “What Mommy-Photogs Do in the Desert” … which could be summed up in these words:  “We ask Dad Dude to drive us home by the scenic/smelly route (which, in this case, would be the freaky-deaky road to the Salton Sea)”.

The scenery looks so unreal. Those mountains look like something from a Road Runner cartoon! And that orchard of palm trees? What an amazing place to bring your camera!

Oooh, that tree shadow shot second from the bottom made me smile! I love seeing the world though your eyes, Susan. It's so delightful to enjoy a landscape completely different from my own, even as much as I enjoy my own. What a creative God!
