Wow, those are some great captures!
California is truly like no place else!

Thanks Josh!

This is the 1st shot I took that night

The yucca was too dark so I turned on my cell and pointed the screen at the tree, there was just the right amount of light to illuminate it.

That's a superb shot as it is, though!
The sky near the horizon has an interesting cast.
Cell phone lighting...necessity is the mother of invention, no? ;)

Cool time lapse, and I too like the lighting on the Yucca in your first shot.

Great minds think alike! ;-)

I took this shot of a Yucca brevifolia at night in J Tree National Park a few years back.

thanks for sharing those pix, stunning photography.

Other worldly!

Cool! I have to say my favorite thing about the pictures is all the stars. I long to live somewhere with no light pollution so I can look up and see more than one star at night.

Speaking of light...back in the old days desert travelers would burn Joshua trees as beacons for others to follow.They say the oldest and largest would be burnt first..
Where would we be without the conservation movement?

Keith and Josiah (welcome back!),

Those are some wonderful shots - thanks for letting us in on them!
