The sight of the Chollas is simply stunning

A Garden of white tops looking like soft wool

But close up they are just evil spikes.

Poor guy just backed into one.

He’s in trouble. 

Too close

Not enough sense. 

Learn the lesson!

Impressive anywhere else in the world 

But here just a warm up act

The Joshua trees are the star

It’s their party here

Big rocks and sunsets 

Legends and rock stars

They didn’t not care 

They just stand proud

Quirky shapes 

Primeval spikes and bare trunks

This land is their land

Respect.
