joshua tree national park


as the weather continues to warm up here, I've really been wanting to take another camping trip to joshua tree national park.  patrick and i visited it last summer together (where we took the first two photos) and scouted out some pretty peaceful camping spots, like Indian Cove, tucked in amidst some incredible rock formations.  the place just feels other-wordly, and these ancient trees stand so tall and sturdy and look like something out of a dr. seuss book.  
this strange land has been under protection as a national park since 1936, and the above black and white photo (one of my favorites) is of my grandparents, who visited joshua tree sometime in the 1940s.
