Joshua Tree Nov 2002

A palm tree at the Mara Oasis.

This tree was filled with robins! I think the last time I saw robins was in Wisconsin; or perhaps it was in the movie Batman and Robin?

More robins.

Our ranger got right under the mistletoe, but no one gave him a kiss. He called this the booger plant because the berries are so sticky.

Wren nest inside a cactus. The spines of the cactus provide protection from predators.

49 Palms Oasis in the distance.
