Joshua Tree National Park – Bedraggled

Today my mini-series of images from Joshua Tree National Park comes to an end. Thanks for all the support of these images this week!

This is probably my favourite of the week. On one of the only short hikes we took on our second day in Joshua Tree there were quite a few of these sad, bedraggled looking trees among the rocks. Despite their lack of leaves, there was a ton of character in their branches, and the blue sky provided a perfect backdrop against which to highlight them.
