Joshua Tree National Park, CA Wildflowers 2009

Wildflowers in Joshua Tree National Park, CA benefit greatly from late winter rains. We had enough this year to bring out a wide variety of colorful blooms.  Above, once again, I was lucky enough to be visited by a hummingbird.  All photos were taken yesterday.
