And They Called Them Joshua Trees

And they let the Mormons name the trees. And they called them Joshua Trees. And they reached towards the sky, like some guy in a book those Mormons liked. And they're pretty sure that guy was named Joshua, because otherwise the name for this yucca variant would be rather silly.


Is it a succulent? Is it a palm? It's a yucca! So...both?

And lo, they let the narcissistic blogger play with the camera with the zoom on:


And lo, he needs to shave.

And someone walked through the gnarled tree covered valleys of this region, and lo, they thought it would be neat if no one could build homes there, and make the valley and surrounding mountains into a preserve, and lo, it was so.


And lo, when you live in an area that never gets colder than 68 degrees, you better believe that you're ass will be near frozen off by the upper 40s you'll witness in this high desert spiritual paradise.
