Joshua Tree national park visit

It was an absolutely beautiful day here yesterday, so hubby and I headed out to Joshua Tree national park.  We stopped at the McDonalds in Yucca comfortable 74 degrees with a slight breeze...PERFECT!

The joshua trees aren't blooming yet.  Maybe they will open up in a week to 10 days.  They look like they are about ready to burst!  We drove around for about an hour, then headed home.

I'm glad we had a beautiful morning to enjoy the park.Hubby's right leg was bothering him, so he didn't want to walk too far.  And, he got to try out his new Canon 75-300 mm lens.

These are a few of the photos I took:

 Look at those pods...ready to burst open!

 This is a view of the back of Mt. San Gorgonio.  Yes, it still has snow.
 Rock climbers were out at Intersection Point...
 Another flower pod ready to open soon

    I think what you're seeing are the seed pods. The trees were blooming in the park in March. :)
