Joshua Tree NP in bloom



Salvation Mountain A month ago, I would’ve bet it was the name of a beer at Moab Brewery. But thanks to PapJ59, I now know it’s hippie paradise 😎





There are "God is love" signs everywhere. It’s the effect of mixing weed and mescaline... Anyway, I’ll leave you to it—it’s time for mass...

the Hopi guide made me promise not to share the info. Personally, I found it on my own using Google Earth based on the photo I'd seen. In just a few minutes...

ok, I'll be back in June around Blue Canyon. We'll see if I have a little time and if the weather's good... I'll start looking.

a+

Now that’s a great idea!

A burst of colors in the city? Like Katia, the first thing that came to my mind was one of the Bellagio’s flowered ceilings made of Murano glass:

Don’t forget the deer!

Your photos are stunning—such a burst of color! We love Colorado! Here’s one of ours, taken in September, a little more modest. Have a great evening!

Saint Malo's Chapel on the Rock

Even though I’ve been to the US 8 times, I’m not much of a national-park person, and I’ve only visited 2: Death Valley and Alcatraz. So most of the photos in this thread don’t really do much for me. But this Saint-Malo of yours—wow, it looks absolutely stunning 😇

Thanks, Masterpo 😏

Have a great evening!

For colors, nothing beats Yellowstone 😉

So why not take up the challenge started by Jijanni and mcgayver about bursts of color—whether in the city, with people, or in nature?

Well, I’ll go with the city 😛 And just one color... yellow...

Joshua Tree NP in bloom



Hello Guillaume,

Wow, that’s gorgeous!

I haven’t had the chance to see Joshua Tree NP in bloom—I was there on June 30 (2016).

When was this photo taken?

Have a great evening!

Christine

Good evening Christine,

I didn’t get the pleasure of seeing Joshua Tree NP in bloom—I was there on June 30 (2016).

What date was the photo taken?

On February 20th, under a very gray sky. Between the South Entrance and the Lost Palms Trail trailhead (which you actually did, if I remember correctly), it’s a real carpet of flowers in multiple colors, though the two standout shades (which pair perfectly) are yellow and violet. I can only imagine how it looks under the sun... Have a great evening! Guillaume

Good evening,

Come on, you're all so nice—I'll buy you a coffee!

Good evening Christine,

On February 20th, under a very gray sky. Between the South entrance and the Lost Palms Trail trailhead (which you actually did, if I remember correctly), it’s a real carpet of flowers in multiple colors, even if the two standout shades (which pair perfectly) are yellow and purple. I can only imagine how it looks under the sun... Have a great evening! Guillaume

Thanks, Guillaume—I should really come back in winter.

Have a great evening!

Christine

Good evening Vinciane,

It reminds me of the bus we saw at the Rio Grande Bridge.

Christine

Good evening,

Great work on the colors—could you tell us where they’re from? Thanks in advance, and happy travels!

Good evening, Avalanches of lights in every color... That's Vegas at night, of course...

Hello Fabienne,

At the annual pow-wow in Taos:

Have a great evening!
