Joshua Tree and sky~SkyWatch Friday 022511


Okay. I admit it. I'm FASCINATED by joshua trees! They are so unusual. I could just stare at them all day! We were lucky that the last time we drove up to Joshua Tree National Park, it was the day after a snowstorm hit the park, and snow was on them. But, it was clearing and eventually blue sky broke through the clouds. Another storm is due to hit the desert this weekend, with snow forecast down to 1,500 feet, so the park will get another dusting of snow, or maybe more! SkyWatch Friday for February 25, 2011.

Beautiful sky, and you're right, joshua trees are fascinating.
A few years ago, we were crossing the Baja Peninsula s from the Pacific to the Sea of Cortez, and there was snow on the highest mountains. My husband had never been there before, and was surprised to see Mexican people scooping up the snow and putting it into their cars to take home to show their families. I told him they don't see snow very often between Ensenada and San Felipe.
