Joshua Tree NP, Part 2

Betty and I sat in one of the Joshua trees yesterday. Although the "tree" is really not a tree but a species of the yucca. I must say, with the spiny leaves, it was not comfortable sitting on the branches. Joshua trees grow about an inch per year and can grow to 40 feet in height. The trees will begin to bloom next month (February) with clusters of cream-colored flowers.

Warmest regards, Gus
