That bush looks like something you wouldn’t want to walk into. Is it like a cactus?

Hi Alphe, sorry for the delay. This is called a Joshua Tree, and you are so right! Those tines are deadly sharp on the tip. Never touch! Odd thing is, the wild donkeys slide in between them and eat the dead tines. That doesn’t do the tree any good at all, the donkeys are not native animals as best I know. This tree has been known to live 700 years! A true survivor in a harsh, dry climate. ❤️

Ouch! I hope the donkeys know what they’re doing!

They seem to keep making babies, they’ve survived out there since the 1800’s. How they survive in the heat and cold is amazing.

Awh, cute little creatures!

The light on the Joshua Trees is fabulous!

Thanks so much MJ! The squall beyond seemed sort of stuck where it was for a bit. Drove out, then back into it later.
Love both captures, John! ❤
Thanks again my friend, you are so kind! 😎🍻
